About B You: Healthy Bodies, Healthy Minds
B You Summer Day Camp is a FREE week-long, half-day program designed for gender-diverse and female-identifying youth between the ages of 9-14. Four groups in total will be run in the Westshore in the mornings and afternoons Monday through Friday during the weeks of July 15-19 and July 22-26. Additionally, four groups in total will be run in Victoria in the mornings and afternoons Monday through Friday during the weeks of August 12-16 and August 19-23. Once a group is filled, it will be removed from the registration list. Groups will be approximately 12 mentees to two fully screened (Criminal Record Check included) and trained facilitators, assisted by BBBS Victoria staff. The objective of the program is to promote healthy living in youth through introducing a variety of sport and exercise methods, increasing knowledge of balanced nutrition, and encouraging self-compassion and social development. While a draft calendar will be distributed outlining a rough agenda for each group, each session is tailored to the needs and desires of participants in each group at the time of program delivery. Physical activities in B You include, but are not limited to, yoga, dance, walking, skipping, low-impact aerobics, and various games. These physical components are followed by a group discussion and a nutritional component in which participants learn about the importance of hydration while trying new foods that fuel their bodies. Other activities and discussions will centre around social-emotional wellness, and will include topics such as friendships, healthy relationships, mental health, and self-compassion. Topics are largely youth-led, meaning the discussions will centre around the interests of the group. B You: Healthy Bodies, Healthy Minds aims to expand participant knowledge in active living, balanced eating, and self-compassion, while fostering strong mentoring relationships between participants and facilitators.
