First- to sixth-graders may participate in nutrition, cooking and fitness activities led by teens who have been trained as teachers through the 4-H Healthy Habits Champs program. The spring break session will be offered from noon to 4 p.m. in Room 108 of the old University Park Building, 1000 University Ave.
