Overall well-being enhances intrinsic motivation, decreases disciplinary problems, increases academic achievement, improves school satisfaction and leads to flourishing of individuals, and communities.


Simply put, those who feel better can learn better 😊

We would love to have you join us and work together so that every child can reach their full potential through proper nutrition, lifelong healthy habits, and overall well-being.

CAMP CORRAL FREE SUMMER CAMP OPPORTUNITY FOR MILITARY KIDS - REGISTRATION NOW OPEN
