Registered dietitians from Humility of Mary Health Partners and the staff of the D.D. and Velma Davis Family YMCA in Boardman have teamed up to provide a weight management program specifically designed for children 9 to 12 years old.
SlimDown for Kids provides nutrition counseling and fitness training, using the expertise of each organization. Parents or guardians also participate in the program.
The program runs Nov. 1 to Dec. 9. Participants meet from 5 p.m. to 6 p.m. Mondays and Thursdays for fitness activities and 5 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. on Wednesdays for a nutrition class, which parents also attend.
Registration is through the YMCA. YMCA members may register online. All others may call for a registration form at 330-480-5656. Cost is $60 for the six-week, three-day-a-week program.
