Staying active physically and mentally when young promotes healthy habits, especially during the summer months. Students no longer have the regular routine of school, meaning it’s up to parents to ensure they’re outside and moving around. Your child will enjoy numerous fitness activities focusing on nutrition, exercise, and healthy food choices, not to mention memorable field trips.

Services Included:

  • An active schedule focused on health and fitness
  • Education on the benefits of clean nutrition
  • Stimulating field trips
