Jumping, Climbing, Running and Playing at Healthy Kids Day

Hundreds of children and their parents gathered at all branches of the YMCA of Long Island for Healthy Kids Day, a fun day for the community to inspire more children to keep their minds and bodies active. Children learned many ways to stay healthy with energetic exercises and games such as volleyball, soccer, rock climbing and obstacle courses. Attendees enjoyed a bounce house, a petting zoo and a watermelon eating contest.

The objective of the day was to teach children and their families about physical activity and healthy eating. Children and their families learned about the long-term benefits of exercise and proper nutrition through engaging activities for the whole family.
