Kishwaukee Family YMCA – Healthy Kids Day

The Kishwaukee Family YMCA is hosting the Y’s annual Healthy Kids Day® on Friday, April 10th at 4:00-6:00pm located at Kishwaukee Family YMCA. This free, annual event features a variety of family-friendly activities to encourage a safe, healthy and fun summer season.

In celebration of this annual kick-off to summer, we are sharing a list of five activities that we encourage you to introduce to your kids. The goal is to have them try something new by promoting a variety of opportunities to get involved in active play – hopefully, this will inspire a lifetime love of physical and mental activity! Share these activities with your children and inspire them to “find their fun” by discovering an activity that they love!

Find Your Swimming Skills with Y Swim Lessons

Each year the Y teaches 800+ children to swim. This helps them find their CONFIDENCE, teaches a lifelong skill and introduces them to safety around water.

Find Your Adventure with Y Summer Camp

Summer is a time for kids to explore new things and expand the limits of their imagination. At Kish YMCA Summer Camp , every day is a new adventure! Whether experiencing a new activity,  having a blast with new friends at summer day camp, many children and teens find their ADVENTURE with the Y.

Find your Passion with Y Sports

Youth sports are just the start of something bigger– , aside from teaching fundamental skills, they also teach the value of teamwork, help fuel determination and build character. At Kishwaukee Family YMCA we have over 20 sports programs or leagues to help keep children active while igniting their PASSION for something greater.

Find Your Curiosity with STEM Programs

Our Intro to Making & Engineering with NIU STEAM, includes activities that help inspire wonder about the world around us. Guiding children to find their CURIOSITY is key to helping them reach their full potential.
