HeroMCC Hosts Healthy Hero Summer Camp
  
For five weeks this summer, 450 Healthy Heroes had fun at MCC learning how to be role models for their peers in the Rochester City School District. The students, grades 1-6, divided their time between physical activity and keeping their math, reading and leadership skills sharp.The program is made possible by a grant from the Greater Rochester Health Foundation.
  
We look forward to seeing these bright faces on campus again next summer to continue their pursuit of a healthy lifestyle. We hope to welcome them back in a few years as college students at MCC!
