The YMCA’s Healthy Kids Day Festival is designed to get more kids moving and learning, creating habits that they will continue into the summer, which is a critical time for kids’ health. When kids are out of school, they can face hurdles that prevent them from reaching their full potential. Research shows that without access to physical and learning activities, kids fall behind academically. Kids also gain weight twice as fast during the summer than the school year. As spring turns to summer, Healthy Kids Day is a powerful reminder not to let children idle away their summer days. Instead, the YMCA hopes to focus on wowing them with their potential and make this their best summer ever by staying active and learning.

YMCA Healthy Kids Day is supported locally by Title Sponsor Publix Super Markets Charities, and receives additional support from 11 Alive, Great American Insurance, JLL, Pritchard & Jerden and Standard Office Systems.
