Children's Power Play Summer Promotion Power Up Your Summer With PLAY!

To beat the so-called "Summer Slump" in physical activity and healthy eating, the Network for a Healthy California—Children’s Power Play! Campaign is launching a new Power Up Your Summer! Challenge.

Summer is here and it’s time to get your PLAY! on. You should get at least 60 minutes of active PLAY! every day. You can add up the different things you do during the day. Try to be active for at least 10 minutes at a time.

One of the best ways to help kids eat healthy, be active, and have fun is to enroll them into a summer activity program.

Local youth organizations are partnering with the Network for a Healthy California—Children’s Power Play! Campaign to teach kids how to get 60 minutes of PLAY! every day and eat more fruits and vegetables for strength and energy.

Event and talked with parents about her tips for eating healthy and being physically active with her young daughter. Each child completed 6 physical activity stations, Zumba dancing with Tina, and learned how delicious it is to Re-Think Your Drink with watermelon infused water.
