Create Healthy Wellness Center to Host Summer Fit Kids Sports & Fitness Camps

 The Create Healthy Wellness Center will once again host its popular Fit Kids Sports & Fitness Camps this summer, offering children ages 5 to 12 a safe, active, and engaging way to spend summer break. 

“Programs like Fit Kids reflect what Create Healthy is all about — helping our community stay active, connected, and engaged,” said Jayne Pope, president and CEO of Create Healthy. “For parents, Fit Kids provides a reliable and safe childcare option. For kids, it offers what they want most during the summer: fun, friends, and something new to look forward to each week.” 

Fit Kids Summer Camps will run Monday, June 1 through Friday, August 7, from 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. daily. Camp activities will include soccer, swimming, arts and crafts, games, and other recreational activities designed to help children build skills, stay active, and have fun throughout the summer. 

A schedule will be provided to show you where to drop off and pick up will be for your child. Cost is $50 per day or $165 per camper for a five-day week. Space is limited to 40 campers per week.
