The YMCA Highlights 30 Years of Celebrating Healthy Kids at Healthy Kids Day®
Healthy Kids Day is celebrated by more than 1.2 million participants nationally in an effort by the Y to bring communities together and keep kids active. The Y believes that when a child is healthy, happy and encouraged to use their imagination, amazing things happen. Conversely, research shows that without physical and learning activities -- normally provided in school -- kids are at high risk for summer learning loss and gain weight three times faster during the summer than during the school year.
