KidzBlitz Shapin' Up Fitness Camp

Fitness Camp will help you address one of the biggest challenges facing our kids today: wellness in mind and body. Fitness Camp is a DVD driven curriculum that helps raise kids' awareness about their responsibility in their own health. It teaches them how nutrition and fitness help them fulfill God's purpose for their lives.

Fitness Camp is designed for kids who have completed first through sixth grade. The material emphasizes nutrition and physical activity choices, not weight control or having a particular body size or shape. Nothing Else Like It
