Elwha On the Move - Paddle to Hawaii is a 12-week course to begin February 14th and end May 9th. The purpose of the program is to get the tribal community exercising and healthy.

Participants will work together in canoe families of 4. Each mile they walk will pull them closer to Hawaii. Tracking exercise, fruits and veggies, water intake, pedometer steps are some things they can do to earn ’miles’ to Hawaii. They can also do other things to gain distance, like attend exercise class, quit smoking, get blood pressure checked, etc.

A ’luau’ is planned upon completion of course in May. They would like to see their community out, making healthier food choices and living healthier lives!

Program partners are: Community Health Representatives, Diabetes, Basic Food Nutrition Education Program, and Tobacco Prevention.
