CATCH Kids Club
CATCH Kids Club (Coordinated Approach To Child Health) is an evidenced-based after-school, summer, and community recreation program designed to promote healthy physical activity and eating behaviors in elementary school-age children.

New Hampshire CATCH Kids Club Project
The CATCH Kids Club Project began in spring 2009. The first year of this project was designed to understand the feasibility of a statewide effort to bring CATCH Kids Club to after school sites in NH while taking further steps to ensure the programs effectiveness and sustainability.
In the fall of 2010, the FHC changed the focus of the project to promote environmental and policy approaches for healthy eating and physical activity. With it's strong focus on promoting healthful environments, CATCH Kids Club has now become the primary tool in this project to help sites carry out a health-focused environmental change effort in the out of school setting.
