Fitness Week continued today with some wonderful activities! We had some special events today. Joe, one of our young CITs, presented the campers with a lesson about hiking. He talked about equipment needed for hiking and offered the children with important safety tips. We also had a special visit from some farm animals, including a horse named Princess. The children were able to see the horse up close and some children even had the chance to brush her. The children had the chance to create special team jerseys today after learning about some local sports teams. The jerseys looked great as the children worked their way through the special obstacle course that had been set up. It seems like everyone is ready for a trip to Hopkinton State Park and I think the muscles are ready for kayaking, swimming, and walking on the beach!

Healthy Self and Fitness Week Started Today!
Healthy Self and Fitness Week started today! It was definitely a hot day, so we continued to stress the importance of drinking lots of water (especially when exercising or playing games outside). There was also some fabulous discussion going on about nutrition as the children learned about the information on food labels.
Zach, one of our CITs did an awesome presentation about lacrosse, showing the campers some of his equipment and how it helps him when he plays the sport. We also learned about some basic parts of the human body as we constructed skeletons. The more we know about our body, the healthier we can be!
*Reminder: Please fill out the permission slip for Thursday’s trip to Hopkinton State Park. We need slips to come in ASAP so we can give the park a count for kayaks.
