We're hosting our annual Healthy Kids Day® on April 20 from 1-3pm! This free, annual event features a variety of family-friendly activities to encourage healthy kids, healthy families and a healthy start to the summer season.
Sponsored nationally by Peanuts, Healthy Kids Day’s mission is to turn fun and play into lifelong memories. Some featured activities include intro to family salsa dancing and yoga classes, summer camp swim tests (preregister here), swim lesson assesments, games, family yoga, and more!
“It is so important for kids to stay active over the summer, both physically and mentally,” said Shannon Millican, Elementary & Teen Program Director. “At the Y, we believe in providing resources for families to create healthy habits , no matter the time of year. Healthy Kids Day is a fun, free community-wide event that encourages families to take advantage of all the great summer activities the Y has to offer.”
Our Healthy Kids Day event will also welcome partners from local organizations, such as the United States Coast Guard and the Bellingham Fire Department, who will be in attendance at the event.
Locally, Healthy Kids Day is sponsored by our great community partners.
