The Kinzua Youth Development Center is hosting an educational movement camp for boys and girls in the U11 age group at the Kinzua Youth Development Center — 200 Struthers St. in Warren Pa. The camp will run next week, July 8-11, from 10-11:15 a.m. and focus on games and activities that promote foundational skills to become a successful sportsperson (e.g., locomotor and non-locomotor skills — rolling, balancing, sliding, jogging, running, leaping, jumping, hopping, dodging, galloping, skipping, throwing and kicking).

The camp is being directed by Dr. Dan McLaughlin who is a physical education professor at Wingate University in North Carolina. He will be assisted by several high school members of the Kinzua Wrestling Club. With the current over-emphasis on competition in the youth sport realm; this camp emphasizes the development of skills needed by a young person prior to those competitive events.

The camp is limited to the first 30 individuals who are registered: thus all interested participants must go to kinzuawrestlingclub.com to register.
