🏃‍♀️Healthy Kids Camp! 🏃‍♂️

Bell Celaya won a FREE session for herself AND a friend at Healthy Kids Irish American Sports Camp… and naturally, there was only one choice for her +1 — her bestie, Gianni Lisanti!

These two had the best time spending the day together with a fun-filled lineup of all things SPORTS! 🏀⚽️🏈🏃‍♀️ From playing and competing to laughing with friends, it was the perfect way to stay active and have some summer fun!
