The Wellness Center is hosting Wellness Camp Adventure from July 30 to Aug. 10. The camp will teach health and wellness to participants ages 9 to 12 and help young people discover and explore their talents, interests and values as they relate to personal well-being.
Youth participants will learn concepts of wellness and ways to promote these concepts through a variety of activities, such as:
