Healthy Kids Day is the Y’s national initiative to improve health and well-being for kids and families. It’s an opportunity to ignite children’s imaginations so that they can imagine what they’ll accomplish this summer.

“When a child is healthy, happy, and supported they can make great things happen,” says Suzanne Richards, Director of Director of Youth Development and Special Needs Programs at the Darien Y.

“We believe in the potential of all children, and we strive to help kids find that potential within themselves,” Richards said.

“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.”

The Darien YMCA’s Healthy Kids Day is a free event that takes place from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Y, 2420 Post Road, Darien. For more information, call (203) 655-8228.
