Active Kids Summer Sports Camp: A Promotional Booklet

Get Your Assignment

You are the Assistant Director at a civic youth organization called Active Kids, which sponsors an annual summer sports day camp. Your Director asks you to create a booklet to inform parents and their children about the camp, and to help them choose the sport the child will enjoy most. Your booklet should explain the benefits of each sport and the skills that are taught to campers, and give kids and parents additional information to help them make decisions about the camp.

The booklet will be distributed during information sessions at schools around town. Active Kids hopes to get children and parents excited about sports and fitness, and interested in the options the summer camp offers.

The files below contain information you may use in your booklet, and a selection of research leads to help you complete your project.
