Parents
Summer 2021 may still be different than we were hoping, but we can observe our local health regulations and keep healthy and fit at the same time, according to Harvard. Eating healthy and putting physically active pastimes into action is something teens, tweens, kids, adults, and families need than ever before. This summer is a great time to focus on staying fit and healthy as a family.
#1 – Be a Role Model
Kids and teenagers will listen better if we are doing what we are telling them to do. Being healthy and active starts with the parents. Inspire your kids!
#2 – Be in the Olympics
Ever tried pretending your entire family is in the Olympics to keep kids fit and healthy during summer 2021?
#3 – Walk or dance, and get the grandparents involved!

#4 – Set Up for Circuit Training

#5 – Try Camp Games & Yoga Activities
Happy Camper Live’s web series, Camp Games and Yoga, helps break your couch-potato habits. As you practice yoga regularly you’ll all develop more flexibility and strength, which will help prevent injury.
#6 – Get Sporty
Soccer balls, jump ropes, and even kites make for a fun, active day in the backyard. Check out our on-demand play activities for more ideas and activities you can do from home.
#7 – Snack Healthy
#8 – Virtual Summer Camps & Programs
2021 Virtual Summer Camps are a growing trend. Join a virtual expo or virtual summer camp this summer, and participate from the comfort of your own home!
It does not have to be a difficult process to keep kids fit and healthy during summer 2021.
And, remember: It’s never too late!
