Camp WINGS
Gets Fit!
In National City, there is a free summer
program called Camp WINGS which is
coordinated by Ms. Tamarie Tigh. This
year she decided that it was time for her
students to get fit. The theme, “Let’s
Get Fit” was implemented by using the
Nutrition Curriculum from the Power Play!
Program. Ms. Tigh created a 4 week
camp for the students that focused on
keeping their bodies healthy through
nutritious meals, drinking plenty of water,
daily exercise and getting enough sleep.
With the help of the Power Play! Resource
book, Ms. Tigh designed lessons that were
full of art projects as well as math,
science, and nutrition. She even had
the students gain a sense of self awareness
by becoming authors of their own
autobiographies. Her goal was to
immerse the students in interactive learning
activities that would help the students
internalize the importance to leading a
healthy lifestyle. With the use of
catchy chants and fun word play, “cool fuel”
to describe fruits and vegetables and “fool
fuel” to describe Hot Cheetos and soda, Ms.
Tigh was able to take the Power Play!
Program to another level. Camp WINGS
exemplifies everything that a Power Play
Partner should be; educational, informative,
innovative, and above all FUN! Thank
you, Ms. Tigh for helping your students “get
fit” this summer!
