"Go Play, Get Fit Youth Day"
Fourth annual event hosted by 14 agencies.
Coronado’s Tidelands Park, 2000 Mullinix Drive, Coronado, from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Go Play, Get Fit! educates children on the importance of nutrition and physical activity by introducing campers to concepts of health and wellness through recreational activities. Campers develop a basic understanding of how daily physical activity and nutrition are essential for growth and further reinforce the health and wellness guidelines as outlined by each participating agency.
More than 1300 day campers will participate in a variety of fun activities such as sports challenges, jazzercise, gymnastics, karate, inflatable obstacle courses, a tug-of-war contest and the 10-minute playground presented by the San Diego Padres Pad Squad encouraging kids to play their way to a healthy mind and body. A nutritious lunch will be provided while participants listen to keynote speaker Carol LeBeau, KGTV 10 news anchor and health correspondent, talk about the importance of “Staying Healthy.” Campers will leave with a healthy goodie bag that includes a variety of parent resources, coupons, and activities to GO PLAY, GET FIT!
