HAVE A HEALTHY SUMMER AT THE Y!

JOIN US ON APRIL 19TH & MAY 3RD FOR HEALTHY KIDS DAY!


Healthy Kids Day is part of the Y’s national initiative to improve the health & well-being of kids and families. For over 30 years, YMCAs & their communities have hosted free community events aimed to inspire kids and families to keep their minds & bodies active throughout the summer months & beyond. This year, we're happy to have PEANUTS as a national sponsor for Healthy Kids Days across the US! A big THANK YOU to Delta for sponsoring our Utah Healthy Kids Days, too!
