HEALTHY KIDS DAY
healthy kids day

It's a great day for kids to get a jump on summer!  Healthy Kids Day is the day for kids to get a jump on a summer full of activities-from sports to crafts and learning-that keep them growing and achieving. Join us and jumpstart a journey that lasts kids a day, a summer, and we hope, their entire future. 

 

As part of the Y's commitment to strengthen community by addressing critical gaps in health and education, Healthy Kids DayŽ encourages kids and parents to commit to keeping the body and mind active this summer.  

On April 27, 2013, join the Y and more than half-a-million parents and kids across the country as we commit to Jump on Summer. With 1,900 Y's hosting free Healthy Kids Day events across the country, it's never been a better time to get up, get out and grow.

 

When:Saturday, April 27

Where: YMCA soccer fields behind Donk's Theater. 

In case of inclement weather activities will be moved to the 

Boys & Girls Club.
