“I want every kid and family to experience how much fun they can have being active and healthy”
Captain Active
Captain Active’s Awesome Active Mission is to Achieve 5 Things:
1. Be a role model for children through having fun being active and healthy
Children learn so much from people and characters they see and watch. By creating an energetic and fun superhero in Captain Active, we’re providing a role model who will instil children with a positive attitude towards being active and healthy.
2. Create lifelong positive eating and exercise habits in young children
Habits that are created from a young age can assist in moulding and developing the rest of that child’s life. Providing children with the ability to create a habit of eating good foods and exercising regularly will provide endless benefits later in life.
3. Show children how to enjoy exercising through playing games
Exercise and physical activity for children should be all about having fun. Through showing children how much fun they can have playing active games, they are going to develop the self-motivation to want to run around and be active and as a result, reap the rewards.
4. Teach children what is and how to eat healthy and yummy meals
With so many different types of food constantly being marketed towards children and families, it’s important people understand what to choose. We still need to enjoy what we’re eating, but this doesn’t need to be at the expense of poor nutrition.
5. Have fun!
Everything in life must relate back to having fun. Captain Active wants to share his energy, enthusiasm and unparalleled desire for fun, to put smiles on active and healthy faces all over the world!
