Fusion Fitness & Aquatics, in collaboration with Hillsboro Area Hospital, offers an after-school program for children. The program is targeted at children in grades 3-5 who are at risk of suffering the lifelong side effects of childhood obesity, including high blood pressure, diabetes and joint problems.
CATCH Kids Club meets at Fusion for two hours, 3:30-5:30 p.m., Monday-Friday. Each day's session includes structured time for nutrition education, healthy snacks and homework followed by 60 minutes of fun, high-energy games and relays led by Fusion staff.
The program is free for children who qualify for their school district's free/reduced price lunch program and free to Fusion members.
