At the Y, we believe “WOW” kids make a “WOW” world, which is a better thing for all of us. To continue our commitment to teach healthy habits for kids and families, encourage physical & mental play, and inspire a lifetime love of exercise, we’re excited to host our 25TH HEALTHY KIDS DAY® .
As spring turns to summer, Healthy Kids Day is a powerful reminder not to let children idle away their summer days. Instead, we want to focus on wowing them with their potential…making this their best summer ever… by keeping kids active and learning.
We know that kids gain weight faster during the summer months than during the school year. We also know that summer learning loss—a challenge for all children—is more pronounced among students from low-income neighborhoods. A child’s development is never on vacation and Healthy Kids Day is a great opportunity to educate families and motivate kids to stay active in spirit, mind and body throughout the summer.
Healthy Kids Day Activities at your local YMCA branch. Check with your local branch for more information.
Physical Activities - CATCH games, dancing, family yoga, outdoor activities with our camp staff, family group exercise, and obstacle courses.
Aquatic Activity - Open family swim
Healthy Eating - Play our healthy taste test game. With your eyes closed you will put your taste buds to the test and try to guess which fruit or vegetable you are eating.
STEM - Our Before and After School Staff will be leading some fun and educational STEM activities for all age groups.
Community Mural - Families are invited to draw or paint pictures of their favorite activity to do together.
