Fitness Camp 2010

From June 21-22, Youth Center members and staff participated in a Youth Fitness Camp, which focused on American Indian Games and the Mount Pathways Challenge from the Physical Activity Kit (PAK), a partnership between the Indian Health Service - Health Promotion Disease Prevention Initiative and the University of New Mexico Prevention Research Center. Each day, participants engaged in exercises in the form of "boot camp"-style challenge trails and modified traditional games from the Chumash, Navajo, Kwakwaka'wakw, Haudenosaunee and other tribes. Click here for pictures from Day 2 of the camp (Day 1 pics will be posted soon!). Also check out our YouTube page for vids of the attempted "Balloon Walk" and snippets from Day 1's "Fitness Jeopardy!" game.
