Healthy Kids Day at the East Jefferson YMCA

April 27, 2019
Join the fun at the Y's free summer opening event! It's a great fun, active and FREE family event. Everyone is welcome. And guess what? If you join the Y on Healthy Kids Day, you don't have to pay the $100 registration fee! 

From 10:00am - 1:00pm kids can enjoy playing games and participating in activities that promote a healthy lifestyle. Plus, there will be raffles of awesome prizes! Not to mention, there will be EXCLUSIVE pool access for Healthy Kids Day participants.

Summer is the time for kids to get up, get out, and grow! But for some kids, exposure to activities that stimulate the body and mind ends with the school year. In fact, research shows that kids are prone to gain weight and fall behind in studies. At Healthy Kids Day, vendors in the community will offer games and prizes, relays, arts and crafts, a bounce house, healthy snacks, and more. The goal of the event is to promote active and healthy living.

The YMCA staff will have lots of sports, activities, and crafts planned. Activities include: Swimming, Dance performance, Hip Hop Dance, Demo of Martial Arts, Bounce Houses and A Color Fun Run.
