Mississippi State鈥檚 Department of Kinesiology recently hosted its summer , with certified instructors teaching those with special needs the foundations of swimming and water safety. Student volunteers also have an important role in helping campers develop confidence and learn life skills. Camp Director and Associate Professor Greg Twietmeyer said, 鈥淧arents are put at ease, campers learn the joy of play, and our volunteers learn the centrality of physical activity to human health and well-being.鈥
