Go Play, Get Fit Youth Day

Nearly 30 day campers and junior camp leaders from Santee participated in the 7th Annual “Go Play, Get Fit Youth Day”  today (July 11) at Tidelands Park in Coronado.

More than 700 children and junior camp leaders from across the county attended the event, which is aimed at educating children on the importance of a healthy lifestyle.

The kids participated in games and activities such as Jazzercise, karate and sports, and learned about healthy foods.

There’s still six weeks of Santee Park & Recreation summer camp remaining. This affordable program includes one field trip and one swim day per week, along with a free lunch every day. Campers engage in structured activities each day, creating memories that last a lifetime.

Children entering 1st grade through 9th grade are eligible.
Camp activities run from 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m., but supervised free play is available as early as 7 a.m. and until 6 p.m.
