healthy kids Day

 

As a leading nonprofit strengthening community through healthy living, the Y holds its annual Healthy Kids Day™ to teach healthy habits to families and kids while inspiring a lifetime love of physical activity. At a time when one in three children in the United States are overweight or obese (according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention), developing healthier habits that include increased physical activity is more important than ever.

YMCA Healthy Kids Day brings families and communities together to celebrate healthy living with a free fun-filled day of interactive games, family activity, giveaways and more.  You can also get information about or register for summer camp, swim lessons and other positive Y programs that support more than strong bodies—they’re designed to help shape kids’ character, too! 

At the YMCA of Greater Fort Wayne, we know that parents struggle to find the time to incorporate more active play and healthier habits into their kids’ daily routine. Doing so doesn’t have to require extra money or resources. It’s as simple as making a play date with your kids, with two key requirements – be active and have fun!
