Registration is now open for Girls Inc.’s 2010 Spring Break Camp. This year’s camp, “Girls on the Move!,” is a day camp that encourages girls to have confidence in their movement ability, increases participation in regular physical activity and helps girls develop positive attitudes toward health-related fitness. Camp activities for girls will include swimming, yoga, Tae-Kwon-Do, kickball and volleyball.
Girls ages 6-8 will participate in the national Girls Inc. Steppingstones program which focuses on motor skills development. The program promotes skillful body movement and health-related fitness. Steppingstones helps young girls learn movement skills in a supportive environment where they gain confidence in their new abilities.
Girls ages 9-12 will participate in the national Girls Inc. Bridges program which teaches motor skills that can be applied to different sports. This program offers opportunities for girls to develop confidence in their abilities as athletes prior to the self-conscious middle school years.
The camp will be held from April 5 - 9 at the First Baptist Church in Chattanooga, located at 401 Gateway Ave. The cost is $100 for the week. Registration forms are available at the Girls Inc. office at 709 S. Greenwood Avenue or at www.girlincchattblog.com. The registration deadline is March 26. For more information, call (423) 624-4757.
