The Canton Kids Olympics will focus on the Olympic games, teaching kids how to play various sports, and the importance of being fit and physically active.  The games will focus on teamwork and good sportsmanship and will be managed by Jaycee members and volunteers from the community.  Some of the games planned include a soccer shootout, baseball toss, fitness challenge, 50/100 yard dash and much more!  The children will also be able to flourish their creative side by designing and making their own Olympic medals.  Kids can also take part in a scavenger hunt around the park and learn about nutrition and other local organizations. 

 As if this isn't exciting enough, the Canton Jaycees will welcome Olympic gold medalist, Ashley Whitney, from the 1996 Summer Olympics, Atlanta games.  Ashley continues to compete in triathlons and works with children everyday as a swim coach. She has offered her time to appear and talk to kids about her experiences and share her medal.
