It’s Healthy Kids Day on Saturday, April 30 (2022). This is a YMCA tradition now in its 30th year.
Everyone is invited for a day of healthy, active, and fun activities that celebrate kids being kids.
Healthy Kids Day celebrates kids’ mental and physical health, while teaching healthy habits, encouraging active play and inspiring a lifetime love of physical activity. More than 1,400 Y locations across all 50 states — including 12 in King County alone — will be the scene of all kinds of active fun on Saturday morning!
Healthy Kids Day highlights:
Healthy snack demonstrations, samples and recipes, in conjunction with QFC.
Water safety activities and tips including how to properly fit a lifejacket and what to do (and not to do) if someone is struggling in the water.
Giveaways: Lots of goodies including T-shirts, gift cards, YMCA memberships, swim lessons and free camps.
Crafts: YMCA camp staffers will lead a camp-inspired craft and have information about summer offerings through the YMCA>
Get physical and have fun with sports challenges, bounce houses and more.
The fun takes place from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday at 12 Puget Sound-area locations from Snoqualmie to Sammamish and Bellevue to Bothell (and several in Seattle). Here’s the full list. The events are free and open to all.
