ProActive Kids Spring Session

The upcoming session will begin on April 11th (through June 3rd) at the Rice Lake Community Center in Wheaton. It takes place Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 4:00 – 5:30 p.m. and will last for 8 weeks. Kids come on Monday and Wednesdays and their families join them on Friday to recap key learnings from the week as well as participate in an interactive nutrition lesson.

PAK has now hosted more than 75 children and their families over five sessions since December 2009.  81% of kids in the program decreased their BMI and lost an average of 1.7 lbs per child. We are proud to boast these PAK PLAN successes that occurred over a short 8 -week period!

The PAK PLAN is an innovative and personal life-changing experience offered at no charge to children ages 8-14 who are considered obese or at risk.   Designed by a respected group of health care, education, nutrition, and athletic leaders, it is much more than a simple diet or exercise program. It is a comprehensive, all inclusive program to treat the whole child…emotionally, physically and nutritionally, built around the stability and commitment of family.
