R.I.S.E.
Rise up, Interact, build Strength, Exercise
(ages 10+) may be co-ed, girls, or boys **NEW PROGRAM***
This program is designed for children ages 10-18 with social/emotional or sensory sensitivities. R.I.S.E. will provide opportunity for the participants to learn the basics of healthy living including physical fitness, mindfulness and nutritional health in a socially supportive environment. Children with these specific needs do not typically access public gyms, parks or fitness facilities due to the nature of their disabilities. Therefore they are typically isolated and involved in sedentary activities which lead to low muscle tone, high body mass index, lack of confidence and a poor self-image. RISE is designed to activate them physically and socially while improving self confidence and providing facilitated social opportunity. Activities may include gentle strength training, stretching/yoga, mindfulness, health and nutrition instruction, conditioning, cardio exercise.
Winter-Spring 2020: January 13 - June 8
