Enjoy the carefree days of summer! But when fall comes, we can celebrate its crisp mornings, beautiful foliage, and getting the kids back on a schedule! Don’t stop there, though. Start the ‘new year’ with fitness for the whole family. Trico Centre for Family Wellness has programs for everyone, making it fun and easy to stay active.
Physical activity helps manage stress and improve mental health. When the kids go back to school to learn important academic skills, it’s also a good time to develop their physical literacy skills. Physical literacy refers to fundamental movement skills, such as throwing, catching, running, and jumping. Plus, it’s a fun release from sitting in a classroom all day!
No matter what your family is interested in, you’ll find something to love at Trico Centre. From preschool to teen and adult programming, Trico Centre offers a full spectrum of options that encourage healthy movement, teamwork, and confidence. You might be surprised at the endless options!
