YMCA Healthy Kids Day is filled with fun, engaging and creative activities that foster healthy living, and is a part of the YMCA's larger efforts to help more kids and families become physically active. All activities are free and open to the public.

Healthy Kids Day  will provide resources to help educate grown-ups about making healthy choices for their families every day.

There will be activities such as Family Zumba, Obstacle Course, Tot Trot, Family Decathlon, and Rock Wall. New this year activities will take place on the Village Green (Maple and Broad Street), as well as in the Y facility, 67 Maple Street.

"Keeping kids healthy is at the core of what the Summit Y stands for," said Terri Clinton, Executive Director.  "The word 'exercise' doesn't sound very enjoyable to many people, especially kids, but getting them to move more through play that requires physical activity is the key to building healthy habits that last a lifetime. On YMCA Healthy Kids Day, both kids and grown-ups will have the opportunity to get moving, to play and to have fun."
