YMCA Bethesda-Chevy Chase Healthy Kids Day

Healthy Kids Day is the Y's national initiative to improve the health and well-being of families across the country. On the day, Ys in DC, MD and VA hold events and encourage parents to make play dates with their kids every day as a simple way to become a healthier, more active and connected family.

The Y knows that many parents struggle to find the time and resources to incorporate physical activity and healthy habits into their kids' daily routine. As a leading nonprofit for healthy living, the Y created Healthy Kids Day to celebrate and teach good health for kids, encourage active play and inspire a lifetime love of physical activity.

Activities for the day may include:

• PhD Games & Obstacle Course
• Pony Rides
• Tennis games & drills
• New York Life Fingerprinting
• DC Tiny Chefs cooking demo
• Q & A with Y certified Personal Trainers
• Gymnastics and Amrtial Arts demos
• Clown and facepainting
• Youth Nutrition info from Suburban Hospital
