DESCRIPTION:***CONDITION: If your child will be out more than 1 week throug
 hout the camp period\, then your child may not participate this year***\n\
 nThe translational health in nutrition and kinesiology (THINK) program is 
 a multidimensional curriculum designed to enhance health-related physical 
 fitness and physical literacy against a backdrop of STEM education. Health
 -related physical fitness encompasses body composition and fat distributio
 n along with physical fitness variables including aerobic fitness\, muscul
 ar strength/power\, muscular endurance\, and flexibility all of which redu
 ce the risk of chronic disease. Physical literacy encompasses the confiden
 ce\, competence\, motivation\, and knowledge/understanding of exercise sci
 ence and its benefits in promoting an active\, healthy lifestyle.\n\nThe T
 HINK program always begins with the introduction of a health-related theme
  relevant to nutrition or exercise science education. This is followed by 
 hands-on clinical experiences using different pieces of equipment such as 
 goniometers to measure range of motion\, ECG’s to measure heart rate and
  rhythms during exercise\, or bio-impedance and skin calipers to measure b
 ody composition. This allows participants to be proactive in learning more
  about their own bodies and how it functions in response to exercise. Stru
 ctured physical activities that reinforce educational and clinical experie
 nces round out the program. These activities are designed to promote creat
 ive thinking (brain games)\, team play\, self-expression\, and fun.\n\nAt 
 the elementary and middle school level\, the THINK program focuses on the 
 translation of nutrition and exercise physiology concepts into positive li
 festyle behaviors against a backdrop of STEM learning. At the high school 
 and college level\, the program focuses on STEM education and the professi
 onal preparation of students for college life and careers in the applied s
 ciences. At all levels\, we hope to extend student knowledge in nutrition 
 and the exercise sciences by laying the foundation of a good STEM educatio
 n\, empowering our youth to lead active healthy lifestyles\, and motivatin
 g students to consider pursuing STEM-related careers.
