Celebrate Healthy Kids Day, Jump Start Your Summer With the YMCA
Join us for a free family event at a YMCA of Metro Chicago near you.

Every spring, the YMCA of Metropolitan Chicago celebrates Healthy Kids Day ®, the Y’s national initiative to improve the health and well-being of kids and families. This year’s 27th annual events are scheduled for Saturday, April 21, 2018 at most Chicagoland YMCAs (three centers are holding activities the night before; see the table below). In the next few days, we’ll have more details about what’s happening at each center, including plenty of family-friendly games and activities. Check the table below for times, and keep an eye on your center's website and social media for more event details.
As always, Healthy Kids Day ® is 100% free and open to the public!
Want to ensure your children have an active, healthy, fun-filled summer after Healthy Kids Day? Registration is now open for the YMCA's summer day camps!
Healthy Kids Day is also a great opportunity for your business to support a worthy cause, and your involvement will help to make this year's event special and successful. To find out more about sponsoring Healthy Kids Day, contact one of our YMCAs below.
