The University Family YMCA – along with nine other area Ys – will host "Healthy Kids Day" on April 28, a free community event to celebrate physical activity, healthy eating and fun ways to keep active over the summer. The events run from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., and there will be free t-shirts for the first 100 kids at each location.
"Healthy Kids Day at the Y gives kids and parents a chance to play, meet neighbors and learn about ways to live a healthy lifestyle," says Steve Lewis, executive director of the University Family YMCA. "Getting outside, exercising together and eating well are all part of healthy living for both parents and kids."
At the University event, kids can make duct tape wallets or buttons, have fun at the bouncy house, play with sidewalk chalk, and enjoy face painting, music and carnival games. Attendees also get a chance to watch an interactive jump rope performance and take a picture with firefighters. Parents can peruse the various booths to learn more about healthy living.
"Every family with children ages 0 to 6 will receive a free three-visit pass to work out while their children jump, wiggle and play in the Y's Kids Gym," adds Lewis. "There will also be a drawing for a free year-round membership and joining fees are waived all weekend."
