Kick off summer with Healthy Kids Day at the YMCA Allard Center of Goffstown! Are the kids in your life already dreaming of summer? When kids are inspired, they can do anything. Let’s awaken their imagination so they can explore new activities and healthy habits. Join us! This event is FREE and open to everyone.

Sunday, April 14 | 1 – 3 p.m. at the YMCA Allard Center of Goffstown located at 116 Goffstown Back Road, Goffstown, NH.

Activities include book fair, bounce house, face painting, gym games, gymnastics, indoor rock climb, live animals, open swim, smoothies, tennis demo and more!

Healthy Kids Day, celebrated at over 1,500 YMCAs across the country by over 1.2 million participants, works to get more kids moving and learning, creating habits that they continue all summer long. When kids are out of school, they can face hurdles that prevent them from reaching their full potential. Research shows that without access to out-of-school learning activities, kids fall behind academically. Kids also gain weight twice as fast during summer than the school year. As spring turns to summer, Healthy Kids Day is a powerful reminder not to let children idle away their summer days. Instead, the Y wants families to focus on helping children imagine what they can accomplish over the summer.
