HEALTHY KIDS DAY KICKS OFF SUMMER FUN AT RIVERSCAPE IN DOWNTOWN DAYTON
Miami Valley, 05.01.18 School’s out and it’s time to relax, decompress and have fun with friends. 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 May 12, the YMCA of Greater Dayton will celebrate Healthy Kids Day at Riverscape, as part of the national initiative to improve the health and well-being of kids.
The Y will be hosting kids Zumba classes, line dancing, sports skills clinics, martial arts, ballet, arts and crafts, and other enrichment activities, as well as games from Camp Kern. A Fun Run will allow families to compete in a friendly race. Additionally, prizes and giveaways will be handed out to all of the participants.
The event is FREE and open to the public and will be a great way for your kids to kick off the summer! Mark your calendars for May 12. It’s time to charge into summer.”
For more information on ways your kids can get involved with camp or programs at the Y this summer, check out our summer program offerings here. There you can find out more about Day Camp, Camp Kern, Safety Around Water Week, and much, much more.
