Eydie Kramer, doctoral candidate in the behavioral aspects of physical activity emphasis in the School of Kinesiology, was interviewed by KEYC-TV, local station in Mankato, MN, on June 20. Kramer was discussing a partnership between the U of M and the Mankato YMCA to provide two week-long summer day camps in Mankato, S.P.L.A.S.H. into Fitness!, for girls in 5th to 7th grades.

“The camps will be focused on swimming, yoga, nutrition training for adolescent girls,” said Kramer. Girls in this age range often experience a decline in self-esteem and health behaviors, she said, and the camps are designed to encourage positive psychology in a safe, fun environment that celebrates all body types.
