Amazement Square

Amazement Square, in partnership with Centra Health and the Office of the Mayor of Lynchburg, will implement a health-focused curriculum, featuring a new long term 2,700-square-foot exhibition. The 18-month project geared toward K-7th-grade children and their families will promote a public dialogue to address the need for the community to make better lifestyle choices. Balance: Healthy Mind & Body is the culmination of a six-year health initiative program that Amazement Square has explored through school and outreach programs. The exhibition and programs support the museum’s vision of “helping youth and their families/caretakers make informed decisions in addressing changes needed in a balanced nutrition, exercise/active play, and positive thinking for a healthy lifestyle.”
