Fitness Jamz
Fitness Jamz is designed to combat childhood obesity in youth grades K – 8th, by empowering youth and providing participants with sessions containing the resources to do so. Participants will collaborate with other youth on a dance fitness routine using diverse songs and beats to increase physical activity in a fun way. Participants will also learn a variety of physical activities and games they can take back home to their family and friends and be encouraged to work together with other youth in performing their routine at the end of the last session for a culminating family night.
Program requirements:
-Contract must be signed by afterschool program or summer camp Director before sessions can begin.
-Approved afterschool programs and summer camps will receive 8 consecutive, one-hour sessions per group.
-There is a 15 youth participant minimum per group, per session.
-One afterschool counselor or staff must be present for the entire duration of the session, for each group.
-Youth cannot be in multiple groups or switched into different groups at any time.
