Baptist Health Healthy and Active Youth Program (HAYP) is a free program for youth, ages 11 to 17 and their families. It incorporates all elements of health, including nutrition and physical activity. Each session has fun and interactive healthy living exercises that can be incorporated for the whole family. Both the kids and their families will be encouraged and expected to participate in activities, because weight management and reaching personal weight loss goals at any age is based on lifestyle intervention and change.
