Kids run club gets 21CCLC recognition

Active SWV Kids Run Club has teamed up with two awesome youth organizations to provide the most diverse afterschool programming around.

Check out what we’re doing with Coda Mountain Academy and Camp ROYAL this year!

ACTIVE SWV 21CCLC KIDS RUN CLUBS
This fall, Active SWV is once again offering a Kids Run Club at both Fayetteville pk-8 and Oak Hill Middle School. In addition, we’re also doing a Kids Disc Golf Club AND a Kids Hike Club at FPK-8.
 Kids Run Clubs are designed to get kids active in a structured and safe environment. They are non competitive and aim to teach kids the value of being active while building their confidence in physical activity. At a kids run club, participants will do warm ups, run, play active games, and stretch together as a team. A meal will be provided to all Kids Run Club participants, as well as bussing home at the end of practice. All participants also receive a participation medal from Active SWV.

About our program

In 2020, Active SWV received a 21st Century Community Learning Center award in partnership with Coda Mountain Academy and Camp ROYAL. With this funding, our three organizations are able to provide a new, free, and diverse extra-curricular opportunity to at-risk youth for five years. This includes fully funding two new Active SWV Kids Run Clubs. 

Between this partnership, students can participate in Kids Run Club, Lego robotics, visual and performing arts, biking, scootering, and skateboarding every week!

This partnership of programs support students’ academic needs by stealthily integrating math, science, reading and writing in to activities kids love. All activities are beginner appropriate. As part of our 21st CCLC commitment, we’re proud to also offer programs and resources to families throughout the year to encourage stronger more trusting relationships between youth and the adults in their lives.

Our 21st CCLC Kids Run Clubs and partner activities are held at Fayetteville Pre-K – 8 and Oak Hill Middle School.

In addition to our 21st CCLC funded clubs, Active SWV also offers Kids Run Club programs across 6 counties. Learn more about how to start a Kids Run Club at no cost at a school in your community here.
