How might we encourage sportsmanship and lifelong movement for 5-12 year olds with physical and intellectual disabilities
Move It Mondays was a 6-week summer experience for youth including those with physical and intellectual disabilities. In partnership with Game Changers, the Everyone’s an Athlete team did a second implementation of their project in the summer with a walk/run/jog club for Game Changer’s athletes at Veterans Park.
Each week was a different theme for campers and athletes to dress up. The themes were: perfect pairs, famous athletes, animals, everyday superheroes, monochromatic, and olympics. Through peer one on one mentorship, buddy's formed deep connections with their guides and were able to create goals for the six weeks on how long and far they wanted to run by the end of their time together.
