Exercise for kids is important. Exercise for kids with unique and special needs especially so. Our goal is to develop a practice that promotes vigorous exercise and movement literacy for all of the kids and young adults we work with. It is about building lifelong physical skills. "Go play outside and burn off some energy" doesn't always work for some. Visit www.exercise-is-therapy.ca

Summer is under way.....
....and it is beautiful.
The best affirmation I have received in the last couple of weeks have been a note saying that their children have fallen asleep before they even got to bed....and then another picture of them dead to the world and snoring on the floor and the ottoman....
This is what has been happening at "Camp Malcolm":
Each day there has been warm up activity on the bikes, doing some workout stuff on the slacklines...

This is what has been happening at "Camp Malcolm":
Each day there has been warm up activity on the bikes, doing some workout stuff on the slacklines...
- Canada Line, airport, sea bus Adventure Day
- about 8 kms of walking
- some 'learn to get on and off the escalator' work
- just exploring places while exercising
- 14 km bike day through Delta Forest Reserve trails Day
- 6km Beach Trek from Jericho Park to Kitsilano Pool Day
- end with a swim
- Granville Island Explore and walk to Kits Pool (6km)
- end with a swim
There is ALWAYS a plan, but it may NEVER be followed. Sometimes it is important for the kids I work with to understand that change can happen and that we should always be able to handle change because sometimes...it might be more FUN!
Anybody want to join us on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday? Plans for adventures are dependant on who is participating!
