Northern Physical Therapy, a physical and occupational therapy rehabilitation facility, will be hosting their annual Summer Boot Camp Program for middle and high school students in the Cedar Springs and surrounding areas.

Geared towards students between the ages of 12-18, this three-week program focuses on increasing overall strength, flexibility, endurance, agility, and coordination skills. There will also be a special emphasis on teaching the importance of sports nutrition and injury prevention.

Mark Garnaat, Athletic Trainer and Boot Camp coordinator, wants to stress the importance of fitness and nutrition in students today. "I want kids to prepare to be challenged, but to have a lot of fun too," Garnaat said.

Boot Camp runs 9:00am to 11:30am Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays from June 11 to July 2. Students should meet at Northern Physical Therapy (308 Main, Cedar Springs) on the first day. The cost for the program is $50 for the first child and $40 for the second child in the same family. More information can be found at www.northernpts.com.
