Healthy Kids Day

The Skagit Valley Family YMCA is excited to announce that Healthy Kids Day is coming back this spring!

On Healthy Kids Day, children and families have the opportunity to learn about the importance of healthy eating; nutrition and physical activity; mental and emotional well-being; and developing healthy habits. It serves as a great place to inspire kids to get active while teaching families how to develop routines that support mental and physical health at home.

This year, our Healthy Kids Day event takes place from 12:30 pm to 2:30 pm on Saturday, April 26 at the Skagit YMCA (1901 Hoag Road, Mount Vernon).

Healthy Kids Day is not possible without the support of community partners, which is why we are reaching out to you. We think you’d be a great partner for this year’s event!

To ensure the continued success and sustainability of Healthy Kids Day, we are introducing a $50 booth fee for business attendees. (Nonprofits, community health organizations, and government agencies who attend don’t have to pay the booth fee.) This fee will help us cover operational costs and allow us to reinvest in community programs for our youth.

Here’s what else you need to know about being involved:

• This is a marketing opportunity for you to share information about your organization or your Summer 2025 programming.

• Healthy Kids Day is all about getting kids excited for summer and engaged in healthy habits. Your station should have some type of fun event, game, educational activity, healthy snack, etc. for kids and families to enjoy. The event takes place at the main Y facility; you may be stationed indoors or outdoors.

• You are encouraged to provide something that kids/families can take home with them (ex. a healthy snack, small toys, flyers for parents, etc.) We anticipate 300+ visitors this year.

If you are interested in participating, please register for the event by Monday, March 28.

Best,
