HEALTHY LIVING
15-LOVE’s Healthy Living & Gardening programs teach our community about the importance of a healthy diet and exercise to live a happy and healthy lifestyle. Our programs are designed to teach families ways to make healthier choices at home, in the most inexpensive way.
Our Summer Program runs June 30 to August 13th
Join us this summer for our Reading & Gardening combo class that aims to get kids excited about reading and gardening! Join us each week as we learn about gardening and the environment, as well as explore nutrition through healthy recipes! When we’re not learning about healthy living, we will dive into reading with new and interesting games, activities & crafts that are designed to help each child succeed. Every child who participates will have the chance to take part in a summer-time reading challenge where kids can win prizes for reading and bring home free books to spark their love of reading. This class is structured to suit older children and will include an slightly more advanced dive into the topics we learn about each week. With so many different things to do, th as we have fun playing games and doing activities that help our minds & bodies grow! Learn about gardening & the environment, as well as health eating from our friends at Cornell Cooperative Extension.
When we’re not learning about healthy living, we’ll do some fun STEM experiments, reading activities and games that will teach us about teamwork and responsibility. With so many different things to do, this club is sure to keep you on your toes!
The Garden
Our office has 11 raised garden beds and many pots filled with vegetables, herbs and fruits. Our participants and their families take part in gardening & healthy living programs to learn the joy of using fresh vegetables and herbs in their everyday diet, in ways that are replicable in small spaces. It also teaches our kids about delayed gratification and patience, which are sometimes overlooked in our fast-paced society.
