Basics Boot Camp

The Basics Boot Camp for the GROOVY GECKOS emphasizes and encourages basic healthy habits. The Groovy Geckos will conduct 6 boot camps during BLC46. Each boot camp will last 2 weeks and focus on a different basic healthy habit. Boot camps are optional BUT each Gecko is encouraged to participate! You can earn ONE point for each day you meet the Boot Camp goal and 3 BONUS POINTS if you meet the boot camp goal for at least 5 out of the 7 days. Example: If you complete the boot camp goal all 7 days of the week, you would get a total of 10 points, one for each day (7) and 3 bonus points!

You will need to record your Boot Camp points in your TRACKER every Wednesday.
