The Summit Area YMCA’s annual Healthy Kids Day® is back and better than ever!
Healthy Kids Day at the Summit Area YMCA is a dynamic and engaging annual event designed to inspire children and families to live healthier, more active lives. This free community event features a wide array of activities, including fun games, healthy snacks, arts and crafts, and demonstrations that promote physical activity and well-being. It serves as a fantastic opportunity for families to discover new ways to stay active together, learn about important health topics, and connect with local resources. Healthy Kids Day reinforces the Y’s commitment to nurturing the potential of every child and promoting lifelong healthy habits in a fun and supportive environment.
We are thrilled to announce this year’s event, in partnership with the Springfield Unity Project, will be held at the Springfield Community Pool on Saturday, August 24, alongside the 5th Annual David Mitchell Community Day.
