Healthy Kids Day

April 26, 2025

Healthy Kids Day® is the Y’s national initiative to improve the health and well-being of kids and families. For over 30 years, YMCAs and their communities hosted free community events aimed to inspire kids and families to keep their minds and bodies active throughout the summer months and beyond.

Activities and times vary by location. Here is a sampling of what you can expect:

  • Kids and Family Fitness
  • Free Swim Testing
  • Bounce Houses
  • STEM Activities
  • Face Painting
  • Membership & Program Specials
  • Giveaways
  • and more!

This year’s Healthy Kids Day is sponsored nationally by Peanuts as part of a new multi-year partnership with YMCA of the USA to increase summer camp access, innovative conservation programs, and camp leadership development for children across the U.S. and internationally.


PLUS, join in on our special reading event and get lunch for the whole family!

The Y is here to help every child meet their full potential. In partnership with New Worlds Reading Initiative, we will be hosting a Community Literacy Event. During this fun hour-long presentation, you’ll receive a book to take home and learn about the free at-home book delivery program. RSVP for this event by April 23 to claim your free meal(s)!
