Our mission is to empower Hispanic and African American preadolescent girls between the ages of 9-14, through collaborative efforts between academia and community, to adopt a healthy lifestyle by incorporating healthy food choices, daily exercise, and positive self-esteem while forming lasting friendships in a fun and exciting environment.

We are devoted to providing highly skilled and trained staff to deliver messages of health in a fun filled environment. Campers will enjoy the daily activities that include yoga, kickboxing, latin dance, cheerleading, cyber-nutrition, and food preparation. We would like to welcome girls that want to bounce into health and are committed to these philosophies:

Fun and Exciting Physical Activities
Relaxation Techniques
Social Skills and Charm
Arts and Crafts

Nutrition Education & Cooking
Modeling Healthy Eating Behaviors
Kitchen Savvy Fun
Building Friendships

If these philosophies sound appealing, then the BOUNCE Lite Summer Camp is the place to be! Life is a journey and it’s important to have all the tools to make it successful. By engaging girls in this camp, they will reap the benefits of better health, confidence, and positively engaging with others.
