Girls ages 8 -14 going to summer camp at the Englewood YMCA, Venice YMCA, North Port Boys & Girls Club, Venice Boys & Girls Club, and Laurel Civic Association (both the summer camp and the Teen Empowerment program) can look forward to the Healthy Girls Summer Program! The program consists of five sessions. Each summer camp will have two complete programs offered, one for older girls and one for younger girls. The programs all include: nutrition education, physical activity, emotional/mental wellness lessons and an emphasis on environmental health.
If you know of a girl who is not in any of the named summer camps, Healthy Girls Initiative can bring the Healthy Girls Summer Program your way! We can offer a one-time workshop or a one-week, five-session program for your summer camp, church youth group, or community center. Simply contact Healthy Girls Initiative Program Specialist Julia Onnie-Hay for more information at (941) 921-5358 ext. 319 or juliao@gsgcf.org.
Another GREAT way to get your summer off to a healthy start is to attend the Healthy Girls Wellness Fair being held on Saturday, June 20th from 11:00am to 3:00pm at the Venice Girl Scout House located at 1775 E. Venice Avenue, Venice, FL 34292. Smoothies and other healthy food will be available to fuel girls and their friends and families for participating in fun games, crafts and activities that promote holistic health.
OR, for those of you in the Englewood community, the Task Force girls will be hosting Beach Yoga & Trash Clean-Ups at Middle Beach every Saturday morning from 7:30am to 9:00am by the pavilion. Simply show up and wear comfy clothing. Bring a beach towel to use as a beach-friendly yoga mat. No experience with yoga or ANY exercise needed!
