Camp La Jolla Salutes Military Families with Fitness and Health Scholarships for Surviving Children of Military Parents
SAN DIEGO, CA (PRWeb) April 16, 2007 -- In honor of National Military Appreciation Month (NMAM), Camp La Jolla is proud to announce 5 Fitness and Health Scholarships for the surviving children of military men and women who have lost their lives as part of the global war on terror.
The purpose of the Camp La Jolla Fitness and Health Scholarship is to honor the sacrifice of the military men and women who lost their lives as part of America's war on terror, and providing support to the surviving military children by giving them an opportunity to participate in a healthy and positive summer fitness program and weight loss camp.
