RFC to partner with EVSC Healthy Outlook Summer Adventure program
|
University of Southern Indiana will once again partner with the Evansville Vanderburgh School Corporation's Healthy Outlook Summer Adventure program, starting Tuesday, June 9. This is the second year USI's Department of Recreation, Fitness, and Wellness is participating in the program. The Healthy Outlook Summer Adventure program encourages an active lifestyle for middle school students. Mary L. Schweizer, director of Coordinated School Health for the EVSC, said, "The summer adventure program will expose students to a healthier way of doing things." Krystle Roudebush, administrative assistant in the Recreation and Fitness Center, will be working directly with the students. "We enjoy having the kids on our campus on Tuesday and Thursday each week for four weeks. The middle schools students can swim, play board games, participate in team- building activities, or tour campus," she said. Indoor group activities will be held in the newly renovated center. Grant money for the summer adventure program comes from the Carol White Physical Education Program, Welborn Baptist Foundation, and St. Mary's Foundation. The Healthy Outlook Summer Adventure Program can accommodate 24 EVSC schools. The RFC's motto of Get Fit, Have Fun, and Live Well parallel's the goal of the summer program. Roudebush added, "This is what we want to instill in these students. We enjoy being involved in the community and look forward to showing the students healthier ways of living."
