The Walpole Recreation Department and Walpole High School Rebels Football Coach Barry Grenier are teaming up to offer children from grades 5  - 8 a program called Junior Gut Camp, which will run monthly and weekly at the high school.

The program helps the youth athletes improve flexibility and strengthen major and minor muscle groups. The children will be working on agility and speed improvements, increase endurance through constant movement and most important, focus on injury prevention through proper preparation.

The Walpole High School Rebels Football Team takes part in its own gut camp every summer and last year their team had a 98% of non-injuries. “Safety is our main goal,” Coach Grenier said of the junior gut camp.

The junior Camp takes place at the WHS Fitness Center and Turco Field. from July 12 - 15, July 19 - 22, July 26 - 29 from 3 to 5 p.m. for $60 a session or all weeks for $170.
