Organizers of the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse’s Winter Youth Sports and Fitness Camp don’t want kids to rest too much on their Christmas vacation.
“It’s a lot of fun and you get to meet new kids,” said Lindsay Felt, 12. “It’s better than staying at home.”
The Logan Middle School seventh-grader is among the participants in the camp, which ends today.
The program promotes a physically active lifestyle, said Co-Director Ray Martinez, who also is a University of Wisconsin-La Crosse professor.
“We’re trying to get kids active so they can be healthy,” said Martinez, who teaches sports science and physical education at UW-L. “We also want to teach lifetime games they can continue to play.”
