The mission of Active Stars is to promote family health & well being through fun physical activities. 

Being a parent can be overwhelming, and we always leave looking after ourselves last. 

And very often dealing with our own challenges, can leave us too tired, to maintain the health and wellbeing of our loved ones too. 

Active Stars is a space where families can participate in weekly light & fun physical activities in the local park. 

We would like to encourage families to step away from the screens, breathe in the fresh air, and join us for a few moments of laughter, play and connect with others. 

OUTCOMES WE AIM TO ACHIEVE: 

• To reconnect, and create new memories as a family
• to become a vibrant community of families who support and inspire one another.
• To create an opportunity to start new friendships, share parenting tips, and find solace in knowing that you’re not alone on this incredible journey of raising healthy children. Let’s create a network of support and encouragement that extends beyond these weekly events.
• To encourage participating in physical activities as a family, promoting a healthy and active lifestyle for everyone involved. Regular exercise has numerous physical health benefits, such as maintaining a healthy weight, improving cardiovascular health, enhancing muscle strength and flexibility, and boosting overall energy levels. By instilling these habits early on, families can cultivate a culture of wellness that extends beyond the activity itself and positively impacts their long-term health.
• To raise awareness that parents who engage in physical activities with their children serve as powerful role models. When children witness their parents prioritizing physical activity and enjoying it, they are more likely to adopt healthy habits themselves. By emphasizing the importance of regular exercise, families can instill values such as discipline, perseverance, and self-care in their children, shaping them into well-rounded individuals who prioritize their physical and mental well-being.
• To provide an excellent platform for effective communication and teamwork within the family via physical activities. Through teamwork, families develop stronger bonds and improve their overall communication skills.
• To offer an excellent outlet for stress relief and promote positive mental health during engaging in physical activities as a family. Exercise releases endorphins, the “feel-good” hormones, which can help alleviate anxiety, reduce stress levels, and enhance mood. It provides a break from daily routines, technology, and screens, allowing families to disconnect and focus on the present moment. Additionally, spending time outdoors and being in nature during physical activities can further contribute to improved mental well-being and emotional rejuvenation.
