For eight weeks NB3FIT hosted virtual programming sessions for youth ages 6-14 across New Mexico. The coaches put together activities for the youth ranging from physical activity, arts and crafts, and leadership activities. Participants were also challenged to drink only water throughout virtual programming and to reach 10,000 steps a day.
They all received smart watches and water bottles to help track their daily steps along with their water intake. Malakai Nez, 10, Hopi/Navajo, had the most steps with a total of 622,558 steps and Elsie Chavez, 10, Pueblo of San Felipe, was runner up with 608,154 steps.
As a collective, participants reached 1,0348,138 steps! Along with excelling at the step challenge, the youth also completed the Zero to 60 water challenge, drinking water everyday of programming. The NB3FIT team was thrilled and excited to provide programming for youth.
With spring programming complete, NB3FIT is wasting no time getting summer programs started. For the first time since 2019, summer programs will be held in-person! NB3 Foundation is excited to host an 8-week NB3FIT Junior Golf program for youth ages 6-18 starting June 1, and a 6-week Summer Camp for youth ages 7-12 from June 8-July 22!
