Week 3 Short Hills Youngsters Build Healthy Bodies during Color War

Happy Feet
This week, Short Hills youngsters are promoting healthy living through physical activity during the color war.
Endurance is being developed as our campers engage in aerobic activities. During aerobic exercise, the heart beats faster and a person breathes harder. When done regularly and for extended periods of time, aerobic activity strengthens the body.

During the color war youngsters are developing many skills.
Team building activities allow kids to enhance their communication skills. It also teaches them how to cooperate with one another in order to accomplish a common goal.


This week's color wars games help youngsters define roles within the group/team. This highlights blossoming leaders as the group indirectly identifies the "chief(s)" .

Morale and productivity are increased when a goal or challenge is set. The games break down barriers between individuals and/or groups. 

Even Counselors and teachers are joining in on the fun. Three cheers for team INTERNATIONAL IVY!!
