Find Your Joy. Find Your Y at Healthy Kids Day
Supporting happy, healthy, active kids on Saturday, April 20
The Heart of the Valley YMCA is hosting the Y's annual Healthy Kids Day® on Saturday, April 20 at 9-11 am at the Southeast Family YMCA in Huntsville and at 10 am-12 pm at the Hogan Family YMCA in Madison. 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.
In celebration of this annual kick-off to summer, we are sharing a list of five activities that we encourage you to introduce to your kids. The goal is to have them try something new by promoting a variety of opportunities to get involved in active play - hopefully, this will inspire a
lifetime love of physical and mental activity! Share these activities with your children and inspire them to "find their fun" by discovering an activity that they love!
Find Your Swimming Skills with Y Swim Lessons
Each year the Y teaches over 1,700 children and adults to swim. This helps kids find their CONFIDENCE, teaches a lifelong skill and introduces them to safety around water. Visit ymcahuntsville.org/swim-lessons to learn more about Y swim lessons.
