Registration for National Healthy Kids Day kicked off on April 1 and will continue through April 27 at the Crossroads YMCA- Hammond Branch. The program will be open to children ages 5 - 14 and will take place on Sunday April 27 from 1 to 4 pm.
The three hour event aims to promote healthy activities and healthy living for children. Participants will have an opportunity to hear from a nutritionist, engage in various physical activities such as swimming, Zumba and enjoying a variety of healthy snacks.
“This event teaches children to eat healthy and stay active by participating in some type of physical activity,” said Community Relations Director Lynette McDermott. “We do this every year.”
Community members are highly encouraged to visit www.hammondareaymca.org or visit the local Hammond branch YMCA to register their child.
