On Friday, July 15, 2010 and Saturday, July 16, 2010, from 9 am-4pm, the American Diabetes Association of Utah are hosting a two day educational and social event for kids with diabetes between the ages of four and seven at Noah’s South Jordan.
The theme is “Around the World,” highlighting America, South Africa (Because of the World Cup) and China. Dancers from South Africa will perform for the children, and arts and crafts will be constructed at each country’s station. My Gym, a workout facility is Salt Lake City, are demonstrating to the children exercises that are fun for kids to do on their own. To keep the activities current, they are including a gold medal event, giving the kids a chance to win a medal of their own. Also, educational sessions will take place teaching the kids about healthy eating and what they can and cannot eat.
According to Beverly Bartel, organizer of this particular diabetes event, “The goal is to help children’s self esteem, and teach them ways to take responsibility for their own diabetes management, and learn social skills while still taking care of themselves, starting at a young age.”
The times of the day camp are 9-4 pm on Friday, July 15, 2010 and Saturday, July 16, 2010. The location of Noah’s South Jordan is 322 West 1100 South, South Jordan, UT.
