Summer SAFE Camp 2015 Registration Form - One Per Child - Please Print Clearly
In the United States approximately 12.5 million children and adolescents aged 2-19 years old are obese. Because roughly 60% of families in the West Allislis West Milwaukee School District live at or below the poverty level, many children cannot afford to participate in after school youth sports programs. Our sports programs help children gain fundamental skills and learn the importance of teamwork all while being physically active. Help us KEEP CHILDREN ACTIVE.
Just $25 can pay for one youth to participate in a Recreation Department youth sports program.
