HARVEY -- Marquette area teens that are looking for something to do this summer may want to enroll in a fitness camp to learn some healthy habits and have some fun.

Personal trainers at Anytime Fitness in Harvey will hold their inaugural Summer Fitness Camp beginning in June.  The camp will run from June to August and is open to teens aged 12 to 18.  The camp will feature outdoor activities such as hiking and beach games and will also provide nutrition guidance throughout the camp.

Organizers say it's a great opportunity for teens to get out this summer and have some fun.

"Basically give them some amazing obstacles to overcome and give them a really good fitness challenge and teach them along the way, you know, nutrition basics, dietary basics and also educate their families so their families can be a support system at home," said Anytime Fitness trainer Liz Mathie.

Mathie hopes to get more trainers from other facilities involved and even Chocolay Township and the City of Marquette for future camps.

For more information, you can contact Liz Mathie at Anytime Fitness at (906) 249-9800.
