Team Kids 4 Kids Fall/Winter Conditioning Sunday Sessions at Mercer

Beginning, Sunday, 11/20, Team Kids 4 Kids will launch a Fall/Winter conditioning program on Sunday afternoons from 2:30-4:30pm focused on swimming, running, and strength/core.  This program will include 10 sessions from late November through February and will be run by Megan Melgaard and Andrew Shanks along with support from our other K4K coaches and leadership team.  We will offer 30 slots and divide into three groups based on age and ability.  At the first session, we will have qualification tests to determine which group kids fall into.

The cost of this program will be $100 per child.  If your child is a Kids 4 Kids member, the $100 will go towards their $250 fundraising minimum for 2012 and all checks should be written to Camp Twin Lakes. These funds will be treated as tax deductible donations to Camp Twin Lakes.

In order to secure one of our 30 slots, we just need a reply to info@teamkids4kids.org letting us know the age of your child(ren) and send the $100 per child to the following address by 11/18:

109 Long Island Place

Sandy Springs, GA 30328

The session dates are as follows:

·         November: 11/20

·         December: 12/4, 12/11, 12,18

·         January: 1/8, 1/22, 1/29

·         February: 2/5, 2/12, 2/19
