Class Description

Studies show that physical activity helps kids learn. We would like to bring Boot Camp to students in Kindergarten to 2nd grade at Rowayton School as a way to jump start their brains for learning while encouraging students to find enjoyment in exercise. Activities will include rope climbing, cargo net, monkey bars, pull ups/chin ups, stretching, and activities for balance and coordination. These structured activities will improve cardiovascular endurance, muscular strength, and flexibility. Each session will incorporate elements of individual exercise as well as teamwork and cooperation. Examples of activities include: using scooters to navigate the gym to find hidden bean bags, partner squats using an exercise ball, and obstacle courses. Students will be grouped by age appropriate exercises.
