Find out on Saturday, April 26 from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. during Healthy Kids Day — the organization’s national initiative to improve the health and well-being of kids and families. The annual program has hosted free community events at YMCAs across the nation for more than 30 years.
Organizer’s of this year’ region-wide even promise fun, prizes and giveaways (including tees and life jackets) the whole family can enjoy. Participants can also enter to win a free week of summer adventure at Camp Orkila, Camp Colman, or BOLD & GOLD, and a free week of summer fun at day camp.
Twelve branches of the YMCA of Greater Seattle will open their doors to the public.
