Children are always encouraged to play outdoors and be more active and this is excellent as they will have more energy to burn at a young age. What many parents and teachers are realising is that this youthful exuberance can be focused into a structured activity, one that is not only fun but physically and mentally challenging. Part of a healthy lifestyle is keeping physically fit and as technology gives us more and more distractions this can get increasingly difficult. Lots of our children have interest in extra curricular activities just waiting to be discovered and developed, the opportunities presented to them are far more than what was available even 10 years ago.

We encourage parents, gaurdians, teachers and students to explore their favourite activites, find a camp, class or club that trains and partakes. These activities do a world of good in a child’s life, from keeping them out of harms way to teaching them a new hobby and in some cases even opening doors to new exciting prospects. There is absolutely no shame in starting young, many of us wish we could have, so it is now time for this generation to take advantage of the knowledge available and make the best of all the prospects available to them.
