Celebrate Healthy Kids Day® on April 30 at the YMCA

By YMCA of Pierce and Kitsap Counties April 14, 2022

Celebrating its 30th anniversary this year, Healthy Kids Day is the Y’s national initiative to improve health and well-being for kids and families. On Saturday, April 30, the YMCA of Pierce  and Kitsap Counties (YMCAPKC) is hosting our region's Healthy Kids Day from 9-11am at each of its family Y community centers. The event is FREE and open to the entire community. 

Healthy Kids Day encourages families to take a moment to help kids be kids and set them up for a summer of success. Through the event, the Y helps get more  kids moving and learning, creating healthy habits they can continue while they’re at home, on the go, or away.  

This year’s Healthy Kids Day will feature healthy activities, youth programming demonstrations, arts and crafts, bounce houses, special appearances, competitions, community booths, and more to motivate and teach families how to develop and maintain healthy routines at home. 

YMCAPKC will also be offering attending families the chance to win a FREE week of summer day camp at a local YMCA or a FREE month of membership. Learn more about Healthy Kids Day at ymcapkc.org/healthy-kids

Healthy Kids Day is nationally sponsored by Howard Johnson® by Wyndham, locally by Sound Credit Union andGordon Truck Centers | Freightliner Northwest, and through partnerships with Mary Bridge and the Tacoma Rainiers. 

Join us and help the kids in your life establish healthy habits for life!
