Kids invited to explore links between health, fitness, and media
Orange City Area Health System is hosting its second “Move, Munch, Media” day camp for area 4th-6th graders on Friday, November 11, from 8:45am-3:45pm at the health system’s downtown campus at 400 Central Avenue NW in Orange City. According to Barb Den Herder, Education Coordinator for OCAHS, “this is a fun, interactive day camp that explores the links between health, fitness, and media — empowering young people to think critically about media and make thoughtful decisions about nutrition and physical activity.” The camp’s activities include Exploring Media, Nutrition Know-How, Motion Commotion, a Zumba dance session, and making a healthy snack. Dordt College media students will help teams of kids produce and videotape public service announcements based on relevant topics, and parents and families are invited to view the productions at the conclusion of the day camp. The camp is funded in part by the American Heart Association. Cost is $10 and includes a T-shirt and lunch. Camp enrollment is limited to 25 participants.
