Healthy Kids
event is April 27
PUTNAM — To help families learn fun ways to stay physically and mentally active now and throughout the summer, the Hale YMCA Youth and Family Center will be hosting Healthy Kids Day from 2 to 5 p.m. April 27.
Activities include: Water safety activities in the pool with the Hale YMCA aquatics team and local rescue teams; Free vision screenings by the Killingly Quiet Corner Regional Lions Club; Games of Ga-ga with Camp Cutler counselors and a “Walkabout” of all our camp facilities; Chair massages and spinal screenings from Back and Body Chiropractic; Bounce house, face painting and more; Kids will be given a passport to visit each station and when complete, they will be entered into a raffle for free YMCA memberships, classes and gear.
“When a child is healthy, happy, and supported they can make great things happen,” said Amanda Kelly, executive director of the Hale YMCA. “At the Y, we believe in the potential of all children, and we strive to help kids find that potential within themselves. A child’s development is never on vacation and Healthy Kids Day is a great opportunity to educate families and motivate kids to stay active in spirit, mind and body throughout the summer”.
