We are back to our fall programming 🍁 Tuesday was the kick off the the TRAIL program for the Maliseet Boys & Girls Club.
The kids had a healthy caramel apple trail mix and we discussed nutrition, goals and played ice breaker games.
Maya Gardiner, Certified Fitness Instructor, had each child choose a fitness goal for jump rope, planking or running. They went through each exercise choice and how to perform it safely and effectively.

Trail Mix Recipe:
2 c. Popcorn
1 c. Sesame sticks
1/2 c Sunflower seeds
1/2 c pumpkin seeds
1/4 butterscotch chips
2 c. Dried apples
1 c. Yogurt covered raisins

Mix together and enjoy!
