Healthy Kids Day

Healthy Kids Day

Healthy Kids Day will take place from 2:30pm to 5:30pm on Saturday, April 29 at the Skagit YMCA (1901 Hoag Road, Mount Vernon). 

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 also serves as a great place to get kids and families excited about summer programs in the greater Skagit/Whatcom area!  

We’re excited to welcome the following community groups and organizations who will be present at the event: 

  • Skagit Coding & Robotics Club 
  • Skagit County Public Health 
  • Mount Vernon City Library 
  • Kona Ice 
  • Precision Athletics 
  • Inspire Development Center 
  • Community Health Plan of Washington

These partners, along with YMCA programs, will have fun events, games, educational activities, healthy snacks, etc. for kids and families to enjoy. 

We strongly encourage a $5 donation per participant. Funds raised at this event will support our Y for All financial assistance program.

To ensure that all participants have adequate opportunities to participate in the activities and so that we don’t exceed our building capacity, we ask that you pre-register for a 1-hour block of time in which you attend. Walk-ins will also be welcomed, but we encourage you to pre-register.
