Our returning kids had another fantastic time and our new kids thoroughly enjoyed their first Konfident Kids experience! We didn't even really mind the heat!</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Each day the kids participated in 3 sports, learning the rules and skills required. They participated in a short nutrition education session, which includes interactive activities to assist in learning. This time our focus&nbsp;was on drinking&nbsp;plenty of water (especially in the heat) and meal planning - Why should we eat a balanced diet? They&nbsp;also ate&nbsp;some fruit salad for afternoon tea - a great way to reinforce their nutrition information and to help the children re-stock their energy stores!</p><p style="text-align: justify;">During the afternoons, the kids are able to choose their own recreation activities; watching a movie, making art &amp; craft, having their faces painted, playing games, or playing with their own gaming systems - the perfect way to relax and recuperate&nbsp;before another day of fun &amp; activity! Art &amp; craft had an Australia day theme and the kids thoroughly enjoyed making their Australian Animal facemasks, Kangaroo Pencil holders, Australian flag medals&nbsp;and Aussie colouring pages, which they are able to wear and wave on Australia Day!</p><p style="text-align: justify;">&nbsp;</p><p style="text-align: justify;">&nbsp;</p><p style="text-align: justify;">&nbsp;</p>]]></content:encoded><pubDate>Fri, 22 Jan 2010 00:00:00 -1100</pubDate><guid>http://www.konfidentkids.com.au/news/january-camp-a-success-and-welcome-australia-day/</guid><enclosure type="image/gif" length="4437" url="http://www.konfidentkids.com.au/media/pics/site/imagecache/326D53F3EA81DC0E24FB5CF7C1A8E5A0.gif"/></item><item><title><![CDATA[Coaching staff required!]]></title><link>http://www.konfidentkids.com.au/news/coaching-staff-required/</link><description><![CDATA[Are you interested in health and sports?
