Active Teen Day at the YMCA

Devon Mullman, BCCJHS

The 6th-grade students had an exciting and educational Active Teen Day at the YMCA! They spent the morning exploring various ways to stay fit and healthy. The day kicked off with an introduction to the YMCA's fitness equipment, where students learned how to safely and effectively use machines for both strength training and cardiovascular exercise. 

Following their gym session, the students participated in a refreshing yoga class, focusing on breath control and body awareness. This calming activity helped them to understand the importance of mindfulness and flexibility. To cool down and have some fun, they headed to the pool for a swim, enjoying both exercise and playful aquatic activities. The trip concluded with lunch, allowing the students to socialize and refuel before heading back to school.
