Healthy People 2020

There’s a saying in fitness circles that, “you can’t outrun your fork!” which refers to the fact that a good diet is at the center of good health no matter how much you exercise. Healthy People 2020 has a variety of useful links related to everyday good nutrition, as well as tips for specific goals such as heart health, cutting down on sodium, and getting more calcium.

Here’s the link to consumer nutrition resources: https://www.healthypeople.gov/2020/topics-objectives/topic/nutrition-and-weight-status/ebrs#cons_info[healthypeople.gov]

Mindfulness and Self Care

Mindfulness is about being aware of the present moment. Learning to be mindful brings numerous benefits. So much so, in fact, that mindfulness training is being done in more and more schools with great results. Even the Apple Health app has a whole section for tracking mindfulness and a list of recommended apps. A quick Google search for “mindfulness apps” brings back a long list of simple, easy programs that almost anyone can try. Here are just a few of the benefits of regular mindfulness practice: may improve grades, fights insomnia and increases sleep, helps problem solving, improves athletic performance, and changes the physical structure of the brain.

Northeast Ministry is seeking 8 highly motivated, responsible individuals who love working with children to serve as Camp Counselors for our 2017 Summer Camp program. Northeast Ministry’s Summer Camp program runs for 7 weeks throughout the summer and serves an average of 62 children per day. The 2017 Summer Camp begins on Monday, June 19th and concludes on Friday, August 4th. A mandatory paid training is required for all counselors the week before camp begins. These are paid positions offering between 32-40 hours per week.

Camp Counselors are needed to help supervise children during the day, participate in/lead activities, and serve as positive role models. Counselor hours are Monday – Thursday from 7:30am-3:30pm and Fridays from 7:30am-12:30pm. Rotating schedules for extended Fridays will be discussed at interview. Prospective Camp Counselors must have graduated from High School and successfully pass the following background clearances/pre-employment testing: PA State Police Background Check, PA Child Abuse Clearance, FBI Fingerprinting, Megan’s Law background check, drug test, and TB skin test.
