YMCA Healthy Kids Day
(Special Event)
Celebrated nationwide annually, YMCA Healthy Kids Day is part of YMCA Activate America, an innovative public health initiative of the YMCA movement that is making healthy living a reality for millions of Americans. By celebrating health and wellness of young people through a variety of fun-filled physical activities, YMCA Healthy Kids Day kicks off the summer and encourages children and their families nationwide to stay active, connected, and healthy.
Join the YMCA at Virginia Tech, Virginia Tech CORPS of Cadets, VT Rescue, the VT Police Department, the Blacksburg Public Library, and more in a celebration of ways to make fitness fun. Planned activities will introduce families to an array of healthy behaviors and healthy ways to play--an essential lesson for children in learning how to take care of themselves throughout their lifetime. All are welcome to attend, but events will be geared specifically towards elementary aged kids and their families.
The celebration will feature a variety of active play and educational activities such as Zumba classes, field-day games, aquatics safety demos, and ambulance tours. The event will also feature guests from local youth-serving organizations to help families identify summer activity opportunities.
