Rhode Island, often known as "Little Rhody," may be the smallest state in the United States, but it is packed with as much fun and adventure as a jack-in-the-box. Filled with beaches, lighthouses, and the unique Del's lemonade stands, it's just like living in a child's dreamland. Now, imagine if you will, a quirky character named Stretchy Rocco, who lives here. Rocco, a splendidly supple flamingo, is the state mascot for children's yoga. Stretchy Rocco, with his long, bendy legs and feathered balance, could perform yoga poses that would make a pretzel turn green with envy. Rocco's favorite spot? The sandy shores of Newport, where he loved to salute the sun as it rises over the Atlantic. He is famous among the children of Rhode Island, who find inspiration in his flexibility and fun-loving spirit. These Rhode Island kids are anything but ordinary. In fact, they are a lot like Stretchy Rocco, adventurous and full of life. They love to practice their downward dog while laughing and giggling, pretending to be Rocco himself. Or they might try a warrior pose, standing tall and proud like The Independent Man on top of the Rhode Island State House. Their faces light up like the WaterFire festival in Providence when they master a tricky pose, and even when they wobble and fall, they bounce back faster than a Narragansett Bay wave. After all, they've learned from Stretchy Rocco that yoga is more about fun and less about perfection. So, you see, Rhode Island might be small, but it's a place where big dreams come to life!

Fit2Cook4Kids offers fun, enriching, and often life-altering week-long day camps for children and teenagers. Campers build confidence and self-esteem as they have an incredible adventure that combines food, fitness, and communication and leadership skills. Professional instructors create empowering, lasting experiences in forty of the most enriching hours campers will spend all summer becoming competent ambassadors of healthful living. Food is essential to life. The truth about the food we ingest determines our state of health as individuals and as a nation. It is essential that we know the truth about the ingredients in the food we consume. Food and Truth is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization with the mission to inform, educate, motivate and organize around food ingredient issues. To fulfill the organizing promise in our mission statement, we have developed and are refining Fit2cook4kids as a model program and solution to the catastrophic epidemic of childhood obesity and related diseases. Fit2cook4kids was launched as an after-school program in late March of 2009 at the DiVinci Center in Providence. During the summer of 2010 the first Fit2cook4Kids summer camps were launched at the Independence Square Foundation building on the University of Rhode Island campus in Kingston. Since then Food And Truth has been refining the summer camp model with the intent to develop Fit2cook4Kids as a nonprofit franchise. The goal is to replicate these empowering, life-altering camps by franchising them to qualified individuals and organizations nationwide.
