OUR UNIQUE CAMP BENEFITS:  Up to 18 hours of professional coaching. All our coaches are at least level 1 or 2 NCAS qualified. Low Coach/Camper ratios (approximately 1:12) create great connection and care. Camps based on structured and proven skill level development programs. Appearances and talks from leading Sydney Uni athletes. Certificate of Attendance at end of camp. FREE Sydney Uni Sports Camp apparel. FREE fresh fruit daily. Tips and Tricks for Healthy Lunch Boxes: Kids simply love variations and surprise. Try using different types of bread that are high in fiber, vitamins and antioxidants - like whole wheat dinner rolls, multigrain flat bread or flax bread. Processed meat is high in salt and animal fats - try using leftover meat which you have cooked the night before. Try chopping up leftover chicken to make a chicken salad with parsley, shallots, water chestnuts and lite mayonaise.  Kids love making their own foods, so a burrito or a pita pocket that they make themselves can be a fun and healthy lunch option. Prepare shredded vegetables, meat, and sauce, and let the kids assemble their own lunch at camp. You control what goes in it and they choose what they like! Kids love dip! Prepare diced or julienned vegestables to go along with a small container of dipping sauce.  Low fat yogurt and sour cream, hummus, and tzatziki are all healthy dip choices. Try preparing healthy trail mix as a snack. Mix crunchy whole grain cereals with dried fruits such as raisins, apricots and prunes. Just make sure to control the portion sizes! Try kiddie-size yoghurts - and freeze them the night before so that they are perfect to eat at lunchtime.They provide a good source of protein and calcium. Corn or rice cakes are often a popular choice instead of bread - try topping them with avacado and grated carrot.
