Life Time Kids Brings A New Approach To The Summer Camp Of Old
Life Time’s camps to emphasize healthy activity, healthy nutrition

CHANHASSEN, Minn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Life Time Fitness, Inc. (NYSE:LTM), the healthy way of life company, is taking an innovate approach to the standard summer camp by offering 12 weeks of healthy learning, fitness and fun to help children ages four to 12 learn how to live a healthy way of life while amping up the entertainment factor this Summer.

Taking the combination of the fun and camaraderie of summer camps of yore minus the Kool-Aid mustaches, s’mores, mosquito bites and homesickness, Life Time Kids is redefining the Summer Camp experience by measuring the health and fitness knowledge of their camp participants at the beginning and end of the summer—in alignment with their Growing Healthy, Growing Happy Kids initiative—designed to improve the health of America’s kids.

Each camp week is designed to offer fitness and nutrition education as fun, field trips, healthy lunch options, the ability to take swim lessons during camp and extended hours to accommodate parents’ busy schedules.

Camps begin when the school year ends, and registration is open now. Parents who register before or during their club’s Summer Registration Fair will save 10%.

Weekly themes include:

  • Amazing Games – Participate in one-legged races, obstacles and a decathlon.
  • Gross & Gooey Science – Learn about the body with super-cool scientific experiments.
  • Boogie Woogie Water Wahoo – Make your own life-sized cardboard boat.
  • Build Your Own Game – Create, design and play your very own game.
