\nThe official launch took place in March, on the first day of spring. Together with two primary schools, Fit in Wassenaar organised a cheerful and active event during which pupils collectively took an impressive 1.5 million outdoor steps. A wonderful moment to celebrate physical activity and to show how fun it can be to be active together.<\/p>\n
\nTo encourage healthy drinking habits, a new water tap point was installed this month at the skate park. This allows young people to easily refill their bottles and choose water. Drinking water offers numerous health benefits \u2014 it supports brain function and helps with weight management.<\/p>\n
\nDuring the Buurtsport Football Tournament in April, Fit in Wassenaar handed out fruit to participants, making healthy eating a natural part of sports activities. The winners of the tournament did not go home empty\u2011handed either: they received an original Fit in Wassenaar Dopper bottle as a sporty and healthy prize.<\/p>\n
\nAn environment where growing up healthy becomes even more natural.
\nThroughout the rest of 2026, we will continue working together with childcare organisations, schools, sports clubs, social partners, and residents to build a healthier future for the young people of Wassenaar.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
