Healthy Living Summer Camp for middle school features the "Too Good" and "Seeds of Nutrition" curriculum created by the Mendez Foundation and covers topics such as social skill development, substance abuse prevention, violence prevention, and nutrition. This is a 4-day summer camp.

Day 1 - Social Skill Development: Setting reachable goals, making responsible decisions, managing emotions, and effective communication.

Day 2 - Drugs: Effects of alcohol, nicotine, marijuana, prescription, over the counter, prescription, and street drugs.

Day 3 - Violence: Respect for self and others, conflict resolution, anger management, identifying and managing bullying situations, and media violence.

Healthy Living Summer Camp teaches middle school students to weigh the positive and negative consequences of their choices as they examine how their emotions influence their goals and decisions. Students practice setting reachable goals, making responsible decisions, and communicating effectively with pro-social peers in fun, interactive games, activities, and role-play.

Students discuss the role of reporting bullying situations for the benefit and safety of everyone involved and practice peaceful methods to manage bullying situations in a healthy way for the bully, the target, and the witnesses. Students learn the effects of alcohol, nicotine, TCH, prescription, OTC, and street drugs. Students also learn the role of nutrients, hydration, exercise, and rest in promoting physical and mental well-being. This curriculum is provided by the Mendez Foundation and is evidence-based, and research based.
