MOUNTAIN BOARDING
While participants are participating in the fun activity of mountain boarding, they are
getting lots of health benefits. The information in this packet details those benefits, from
the muscles mountain boarding develops to the way it makes people feel.
This packet supplements what you will be doing during mountain boarding. You do have to
get participants to recognize that this activity is great for their physical and emotional
health, but you can do that in the way that best works for your group and you. These
materials offer lots of different ideas for incorporating the health components into your
already fabulously planned session.
Read the Facilitator’s Guide in order to understand Frost Valley’s physical activity initiative,
to effectively use the materials in your session, and for ways to encourage physical activity
among your participants in and beyond Frost Valley.
This chart, also featured in the Facilitator’s Guide, highlights each of the sections in this
module. This can guide you in selecting what to focus on during the session.
