Louisiana 4-H and UnitedHealthcare Community Plan hosted more than 125 youth and adult leaders as part of a statewide training camp earlier this month, designed to promote healthy lifestyles through better food choices, fitness and other hands-on learning activities.

The "Made in the USA – 4-H Food & Fitness Way" took place at 4-H Camp Grant Walker in Pollock and included group activities, educational sessions and interactive discussions aimed at helping fight the nation's obesity epidemic through innovative thinking, learning and lifestyle decision-making. 4-H youth from across the state participated in the weekend events, which focused on the importance of healthy living and enabling and inspiring youth to adopt healthy habits, learn healthy behaviors, and share them with their families and communities.
