Axtion Sports Jam for Child and Youth Mental Health
The Axtion Sports Jam is back! This is a family-friendly event to showcase Skateboard, Scooter, and BMX skills while bringing awareness to children's mental health fitness. Mental Fitness is like a muscle and the more you work it, the stronger it gets. When it’s in good shape, mental fitness helps us think and act in positive ways that benefit our families, friends and communities. Taking part in action sports is a great way to grow your mental fitness, deal with stress, exercise, and have fun.
This is an all-inclusive event. Although some age groups will be competitive, the spirit is one of community, comraderie, and celebrating each others skills at every level.
