American Ninja Navigators

(Fun and Fitness Part 2)

We had a fantastic time finishing up our fitness patches and checkouts. Everyone completed the final fitness test.  

Then we had the opportunity to complete the American Ninja Warrior training course at Bodies in Motion. 

We have some serious Ninjas in Navigators!

Fun-N-Fitness (Part 1)

Last week we started our 2 part Fun and Fitness patches.  Over the next few months we will be putting our moral compass in action and strengthening our bodies!

Trainer, Niki Dellapietra-Woolstenhulme , joined us for a lesson on nutrition, exercise, and general info on taking care of our bodies. 

 

After our talk, Niki taught us the proper ways to do exercises and we took a fitness test together.

We did squats...

Push Ups..

High Knees..

and even crunches

After out fitness test Niki led us on an awesome natural obstacle course. 

Then we got to snack on some healthy chocolate zucchini muffins! 

Way to live the Moral Compass Navigators!

Walk on the Wild Side and Knots and Knives

Last week our Junior Navigators got a nature tour at Kathryn Albertson Park and our Senior Navigators learned to tie new knots and all about knife safety!

The Juniors had an amazing tour guide from Boise Parks and Rec.  Erica showed us all about the plants and wild life in the park.  

Each Navigator was given a cards with animals and plants to locate on our tour.

We learned about many plants in the area and saw some great animals along the way.

We even saw this cross section of a record breaking tree.

Our Senior got a taste of knots and knives.

They learned to tie 2 new knots and how to use knives safely.
