Healthy Kids Day® is the Y’s national initiative to improve the health and well-being of kids and families. For over 30 years, YMCAs and their communities hosted free community events aimed to inspire kids and families to keep their minds and bodies active throughout the summer months and beyond.

This year's Healthy Kids Day is sponsored nationally by Peanuts as part of a new multi-year partnership with YMCA of the USA to increase summer camp access, innovative conservation programs, and camp leadership development for children across the U.S. and internationally. Peanuts Worldwide will also be the national sponsor for Healthy Kids Day in 2025.
Working Together to Make a Positive Impact
We believe that families and neighborhoods are the building blocks for positive change. See how families, friends and communities can help support healthy lifestyles for all.
Family Time
At the Y, we understand the importance of family time and bonding. We give families opportunities to explore new interests, improve their health and well–being, connect to their community, and have a good time – together.
Healthy at Home
The Y serves as the center of community, bringing people from all backgrounds together. But in times when it's not possible for us to be physically together, we're dedicated to keep people and communities active, healthy and connected – at home.
Swim, Sports & Play
Staying physically active is important for a child's growth and well–being. Our sports programs keep kids moving, while teaching friendly competition and introducing healthy practices for life.
