On Saturday, April 27 from 1:00pm-4:00pm, the Cook County YMCA and Community Education are holding a free community event to inspire more kids to keep their minds and bodies active at the annual Healthy Kids Day®, the Y’s national initiative to improve health and well-being for kids and families is an opportunity to ignite children’s imaginations so that they can imagine what they’ll accomplish this summer.

The free community event will be held from 1:00-4:00pm and features activities such as interactive booths hosted by local organizations supporting youth and families, kayaking and paddleboarding in the pool, arts and crafts, youth fitness classes, a toddler zone, and a Big Wheels Expo to motivate and teach families how to develop and maintain healthy routines at home throughout the summer months.
