On June 21st, 2008, we will have a very FUN and EXCITING Tae Kwon Do immersion camp for area youth at our local do jang, "The Leadership Academy". We are located in Northern Wisconsin, where we spend about 60% of our calendar year with several inches (or feet) of snow on the ground. It is very important to keep our youth motivated and aware of their own fitness, especially when there is a majority of the year when they are limited with outdoor activities!

Now entering its third year, Cornell Cooperative Extension, Schenectady County has hosted the Schenectady Youth Marathon (SYM). To date, over one-hundred youth have completed the SYM with the support of numerous volunteers. Youth completing the SYM report increased fitness levels, as well as decreased time spent on the Internet, playing video games, and watching television. In addition to the fitness component, youth receive nutrition information based on the USDA “My Pyramid” program, and report a greater understanding of nutritional issues.
