COLUMBIA, SC - The Columbia Fireflies today announced they'll be hosting a BlueCross BlueShield of South Carolina Healthy Kids Day at Segra Park Saturday August 12. The Fireflies will have members of their staff teach elementary and middle school children how to live a healthy lifestyle and how athletes take care of their bodies. The camp will be on the field from 9 am-11 am and is free for the first 200 elementary school and middle school children to sign up.
Fireflies Athletic Trainer Nevan Dominguez, Strength and Conditioning Coach Ted Elsner and Nutritionist Melissa Stewart will have a general session where they teach the children how professional athletes prepare their bodies to compete at the highest level.
