Get A Jump On Summer

Ben loves summer but like many kids, his exposure to activities that keep the body and mind active decreases when school is out. This summer, Ben and his family will "Get A Jump On Summer" and commit to staying physically and intellectually active. After all, playing and learning shouldn't take a break when school does.

Healthy Kids Day® A YMCA Initiative

Active from Head to Toe

Saturday, April 27, 2013

Summer is the time for kids to get up, get out and grow. But for some kids, exposure to activities that stimulate the body and mind ends with the school year. In fact, research shows that kids are prone to gain more weight and fall behind in studies. On April 27, the Y will celebrate Healthy Kids Day, our national initiative to improve the health and well-being of kids.

Over 1,900 Ys across the country are taking part in Healthy Kids Day, holding free community events that are open to all kids and families and filled with fun, active play and educational opportunities. Let’s Get a Jump on Summer and help kids carry the spirit of staying intellectually and physically active. Visit Find a Y to locate an event in your community.

Grab your bikes and take a family bike tour this weekend. Explore new neighborhoods or peddle on over to a new park for an afternoon of play. Find out more about how to get a jump on summer at Healthy Kids Day at your local Y.
