Children raced through an inflatable obstacle course Wednesday morning during the city of Maricopa’s Summer Fun & Fitness Camps at Copper Sky. Coached by Ricky Muro of Bounce Boot Camp in the East Valley, kids jumped over hurdles, crawled through tunnels and climbed an inflatable wall. Camp aides and “future leader” teen volunteers were also there to assist campers through the course.
The recreational “boot camp” is a weekly feature of the camp’s program at Copper Sky. Youth Coordinator Heather Lozano said she is planning to bring it to other camp locations at Saddleback Elementary and Maricopa Elementary schools in the future.
