Healthy Kids Day

At the Y, we believe every child deserves the opportunity to thrive. That’s why Healthy Kids Day is more than just a fun event — it’s a community-wide celebration of youth development, healthy living, and family connection. Join us for a free day of games, fitness activities, learning stations, and local resources designed to get kids moving and families engaged.

 

Each of our YMCA branches will offer something special — from obstacle courses and bounce houses to community vendors, public safety demos, and wellness giveaways. Scroll down to see what’s happening at your neighborhood Y.

We’re turning the whole Y into a playground. Outside, kids can enjoy an obstacle course, touch-a-truck with police and fire vehicles, car seat safety checks, and classic fun like bubbles and frisbees. Inside, families can explore pickleball, yoga, martial arts demos, and even a glow-in-the-dark dance party. Don’t miss the bounce house, rock wall, tattoos, and camp information tables too.
