Summer Camp focused on physical activity and heart-healthy eating. This year, the children participated in more physical activities, including CATCH games, and really enjoyed them. The children learned about heart-healthy eating during camp and brought healthy snacks and lunches from home. Healthier snacks were also provided by the camp.
