The elements of our membership programme

 

Exercise and Vitality

Fitness is individually assessed and children are timetabled into events and activities accordingly with personal targets for the event set at the start.

Something for everyone.....

Activities include those available to children both now and in later life. We particularly pride ourselves on and our ability to find something appropriate for each child. Success and enjoyment are paramount in long-term behavioural change.

Our instructors are the most highly qualified in the country and our program is designed by experts in the field of Physical Education for children.


Nutrition

With venues chosen specifically for their conducive surroundings and the facilities to provide food prepared freshly on site at all times, we aim for organic certification and the nourishment on offer at the Academy will all be screened according to the recommendations of our qualified nutrition experts.

Learning as they go, children will have the opportunity to participate in the preparation of food and to learn some fundamentals while doing so. The origins of food, how far it has traveled and the ecological factors will also be covered.

They will also have the opportunity to contribute to designing healthy and balanced meals for others and themselves. Menus and planning will also feature heavily on the supporting website.

The emphasis is on fun with food and enjoying eating in the knowledge it is supporting your lifestyle and giving you what you need to look after your body in the best way possible.


Emotional Well-being

If we don't see it ourselves, we know by the studies recently conducted by UNICEF that children are under exponentially higher amounts of stress and suffering record-levels of depression as compared to previous generations.

Therefore we need to give them outlets and encourage them to channel or release tensions and worry that might become detrimental to health or an obstacle to achieving goals. So much is documented about work/life balance and ensuring the correct mix to ensure wellbeing. At Life2the Max we think about schoolwork/life balance and we're only too well aware that stresses, strains and worries developed at a young age will be taken into adult life and cause health issues at a future point in time.

Relaxation and stress management will take the form of a range of activities at the Academy that may include:


  • Meditation
  • Yoga
  • Breathing for relaxation
  • Massage
  • Guided Imagery
  • Visualisation

Again, diagnostics will be applied to each child and a tailored program of activities produced just for them.


Mind Body Management

Children can be given the basic building blocks for a healthier lifestyle but engendering this as a long-term shift in life-style is the difficult, but not impossible, part.

You know from your own experience how pivotal motivation is in order to achieve goals in life. In fact without it no-one really succeeds. Life2theMax will inculcate a positive attitude which is the foundation to motivation and success. We do not, and will not, accept mediocrity as an option - we aim for success in everything we do and believe this message is hugely important in coaching children.

At the same time, we aim to focus heavily on relieving stresses and strains and obstacles to success and arming children with practical how-to lessons on milestone tracking and identifying and eliminating attitudes or behaviours that may prove a preventative to optimum achievement. We encourage high self esteem and make children feel empowered to attain their aspirations.
Our experts use some powerful techniques to arm children with some invaluable tools they can use for the rest of their lives to overcome self doubt and encourage positivity.


Clinic

Unique to Life2theMax is a clinic run by fully qualified medical doctors. Also in attendance are naturopathic, homeopathic and alternative health practitioners to provide health assessments, allergy advice and treatment and preventative guidance to parents and children.

This is because we believe integrative medicine is the best approach in dealing with children's health. A different solution and approach is appropriate at different times and only a full understanding of what is on offer will ensure a fit and healthy immune system to support children through their youth.


Parental support and guidance

The difference between a summer camp and Life2theMax is that we are not just for the holidays!

We believe summer camps are great while they happen but in order to have any lasting effect on children, we need to offer a structure for support, continuation and follow up. This succoring and support is available via our on-line community of peers and experts plus additional events where the Academy alumni can meet again or go on to share more life-enhancing times with new recruits.

Parents too are offered support and access to the most recent and authoritative expert opinion on all our key elements of health management - tips and advice that they can use for the benefit of their children - but also themselves… it's not too late to start putting life into your years, and years into your life.
