Spring Break Michigan Style The 2008 Spring Break – Michigan Style activities will be held Monday, March 24th through Saturday, March 29th..
Click here to go to the Lifetime Fitness website. This year we have added several new activities, including ice-skating, a game night at the Boys & Girl’s Club. Also be on the lookout for new and exciting discounts and coupons.  For
more than a decade, UCAT has offered students a safe and healthy alternative
during spring break with its Spring Break-Michigan Style program.
The week-long event has seen much success within Utica Community Schools
boundaries, offering activities for students who chose to stay closer
to home rather than escape to warmer yet unfamiliar climates this
time of year. This fun alternative for area students in seventh through 12th grade allows kids the chance to participate in activities as well as take advantage of numerous discounts - just for choosing their hometowns as their spring break destination of choice. "It's a healthy alternative program offered during spring break in collaboration with local businesses, schools and other organizations," UCAT President Kim Wiegand said. "We're giving kids opportunities to have fun other than going out of state or other places." Students who stay in Macomb County during the week are invited to discounts on bowling, car washes, food and skating. For the last few years, the coalition has partnered with Life Time Fitness to offer a wider variety of activities for students, including discounts at its Life Cafe and Life Spa.  Throughout
the week, Life Time Fitness offers club activities such as open gym,
swimming and rock wall climbing. Different classes are also offered,
ranging from hip hop dance and kickboxing, to spinning and Pilates.An all-night party is scheduled for Friday at Lifetime Fitness, as well. The overnight event includes classes and activities, food and more. "We hope (this) would provide students with healthy alternatives to enjoy during the week, but also enjoy at home with friends," Wiegand said. "We hope (through Spring Break-Michigan Style) they build ties with their friends and the community, and have opportunities to participate in activities you know are safe and could be fun, as opposed to being out of the country not knowing what's going to happen next." Students who attend Spring Break-Michigan Style events must have a student ID card or current report card for admission. Students are also allowed to bring friends from other districts with a valid school ID. |
