SUMMER CAMP FORMS
2022 SUMMER RUNNING AND FITNESS PROGRAM
2022 SUMMER RUNNING AND FITNESS PROGRAM
For all interested students that will be entering 5th through 8th grade in the fall of 2022 we will be holding a voluntary running and fitness program starting on Wednesday, July 6, 2022. Sessions will run from 8:00AM to 9:30AM on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday throughout July and the first week of August. We will be utilizing our beautiful area parks in a rotation as follows: Centennial Park in Rock Falls on Mondays, Woodlawn in Sterling on Wednesdays, and Lowell Park in Dixon on Fridays.
These sessions will include core strengthening, stretching, general fitness exercises, and a gradual progressive increase in running distance to build endurance in an atmosphere that promotes exercise as fun and encourages our young athletes to support and respect one another.
Athletes with interest in any sport are welcome, and this program is free to participate. Attending athletes are encouraged to bring a beach towel to use for stretching exercises and water. We look forward to seeing all of you for our first session on Wednesday, July 6, 2022 at Woodlawn in Sterling.
If you have any questions feel free to call Coach Joe Welty at 815-973-5082 or Coach Tara Propheter at 815-718-3115.
