The YMCA of the Northwoods, Beck Family YMCA is hosting the Y’s annual Healthy Kids Day on April 26 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. located at The YMCA Beck Family YMCA 2003 East Winnebago Street. 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 prepare our families and communities for a safe, healthy and fun summer. Some featured activities include healthy snacks, healthy meal samples, community resource fair, open pool, bounce house, games and activities.  

“It is so important for kids to stay active over the summer, both physically and mentally,” said Abbie Cline, Mission Advancement 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 our community has to offer.”   

The YMCA of the Northwoods Beck Family YMCA’s Healthy Kids Day will also welcome a celebrity chef, Doreen Colondres, who will be in attendance and providing a cooking demo from 11 a.m. to noon at the event.
