"ACCORDING TO THE CENTERS FOR DISEASE CONTROL AND PREVENTION, 16 PERCENT OF CHILDREN (OVER 9 MILLION) 6-19 YEARS OLD ARE OVERWEIGHT OR OBESE -- A NUMBER THAT HAS TRIPLED SINCE 1980.”

During the 2010 Spring Break (March 15-19, 2010), The Dangerous Minds Project, in collaboration with Stage Presence Performing Arts Studio, will hold a fitness boot camp for teens throughout the city. The boot camp will be facilitated by Ashley Sade’ who is not only trained in fitness, and dance, but used her knowledge and experience in these areas to become Miss Black Dallas.

It’s no secret that youth obesity is on the rise. With more and more young people becoming not only overweight, but even morbidly obese, it is important to emphasize movement and activity as a way of life. It is our hope that this camp incites a life-long love of being active and understanding that an active body is a healthy body.

The camp will start with check-in at 8:00 a.m. and then continue with a morning workout from 8:05-9:50 a.m. By participating in this event, each youth will achieve the weekly recommendation of 225 minutes of physical activity.  The camp will be held each day at Marian Park, 11000 S. Gessner.

  Open to boys and girls ages 13-20 years of age.

We have arranged for additional activities that last until lunchtime in the event parents cannot pick-up their child until then.

YOU MUST PRE-REGISTER FOR THIS EVENT.
