U-District Foundation's 3rd Fitness and Fun Camp
Nearly 150 kids attended the June session of our Fitness and Fun Camp! So many kids wanted to attend that we had to add a July session. T he U- District Foundation Fitness and Fun Camp is FREE for children ages 7-17. This camp is designed to expose our youth to the most up-to-date training techniques, while having as much fun as possible. The camp focuses on improving speed and agility, increasing vertical leap, along with instruction on proper running form. Campers are also taught healthy eating habits, shown how to set achievable goals, and learn the importance of living healthy lives. Campers of all ages experienced the importance of teamwork, gratitude, and giving your all.
About the U-District Foundation
U-District Physical Therapy and Institute of Sports Performance is proud to announce the launch of the U-District Foundation, our non-profit organization. The U-District Foundation was established as way for us to give back to the community that has demonstrated profound commitment to our success over the past five years. Promoting health and wellness through the U-District Foundation is a fundamental way we can serve our community. Our goal, through the foundation, is to encourage kids to live healthy lives and inspire them to dream great dreams!
As a business that was founded on several core values, including service and servant leadership, we believe access to healthy living should be available to all area youth. The U-District Foundation will offer free youth fitness camps, sports training scholarships for individuals and teams, educational conferences for area coaches, as well as provide assistance to local schools’ physical education programs.
We are also excited to partner with Reach for the Future, a local non-profit organization that provides tutoring, mentoring, and college tuition to a group of students currently in third grade. We will be providing fitness camps and education programs to encourage healthy living as we follow these children throughout their K-12 education. Students in this program also contributed over 30 pairs of shoes to our Friends of the Orphans shoe drive last spring.
The U-District Foundation pariticipates in community events year-round, including:
-
2nd Harvest Food Bank Fall Food Drive-4000 pounds of food have been collected over the last 2 years
-
St. Margaret's Adopt-A-Family Gift Tree-Our staff and clients generously donated to make Christmas 2008 very special for one local family in need. The U-District family out-did themselves again this year, making Christmas 2009 merry for a family of four.
-
Friends of the Orphans Spring Shoe Drive-Hundreds of shoes were sent to an orphanage in Bolivia.
