At the start of summer comes along the opportunity to build a strong partnership with Summer Camps sponsored by the Clark County Parks and Rec. Veronica Brown, a teacher for the Clark County Public Schools contacted the NEP program assistant for nutrition programing for her campers. Our assistant taught the LEAP curriculum using designated books for each individual lesson, Jack and the Hungry Giant, , Groundhogs Garden, Eating the Alphabet and Germs are not for sharing. Each story touched base on eating a variety of foods from the MYPLATE, adding more fruits and vegetables, being physically active and staying safe by washing our hands and wearing our masks. One mother shared her daughter’s enthusiasm about what she was learning.  (quote) “My daughter goes to the Clark County Parks and Rec Summer Camp and she has talked about how much she loves Sandy and all she’s learning about “being healthy and strong”. Just wanted to send you a thanks from a very appreciative mom and wanted you to know that all your programming is impactful and making a difference for my 6-year-old.”

Through the LEAP Program they became, “Strong, Smart and Loved” by making healthy choices and being more physically active.
