Childhood obesity is now a crisis throughout Canada. In the Wellington-Dufferin-Guelph community, 33% of our children are overweight, leading to increased risks of developing a multitude of diseases. Jumping Beans is a non-profit program specific to reduce childhood obesity. We are looking for $4,700 funding and mentoring to launch a unique 2-week Action Camp that help obese students aged 6-17 to develop long term habits of healthy diets, adequate physical activities and limited sugar consumption. Along with a team of dedicated volunteers of students and healthcare practitioners, we will teach important nutrition tools in a relaxed and fun learning environment.
