Healthy Kids Day

Join the Door County YMCA for Healthy Kids Day each Spring

The entire day is designed to celebrate healthy living and encourage kids and families to get excited about physical activity and play together. 

Family activities will be FREE and open to the entire community all day including bouncers, dozens of informational booths, free snacks, free try-it classes, rope climbing, contests, crafts, and door prizes. 

YMCA Healthy Kids Day is the nation’s largest annual health day for kids and families. YMCA Healthy Kids Day will be celebrated across the country at more than 1,700 YMCAs. Each year, more than 700,000 people participated in YMCA Healthy Kids Day events nationwide.   Studies show that kids who consistently engage in play are happier and healthier, and develop and enhance a variety of skills including motor skills, social skills, problem solving, and creativity. Experts recommend that kids engage in at least 60 minutes of physical activity each day, which often results in higher self-esteem and better academic performance.
