We’re hosting our annual Healthy Kids Day® on Saturday, April 24, 10am-1pm at the New Haven YMCA Youth Center. We’d like to encourage families to take a moment to help kids be kids.
While the in-person event will feature physically distanced activities and be in accordance with CDC and State and Local Health Department recommendations, the Y aims to provide a carefree morning for children, celebrating what makes a kid, a healthy kid.
The event will feature activities such as games, bean bag toss, can slam, badminton, limbo, healthy eating ideas, STEM activities and fun competitions to motivate and teach families how to develop and maintain healthy routines at home.
Share in the fun – we are also holding a sock drive to help children in our local shelter. Please bring a pair of new socks to donate!
Preregistration is encouraged.

The health and safety of all Y campers, our team and our volunteers are our first and foremost priority. New safety protocols and sanitization procedures have been adopted to maintain the highest standards. CCCY 2021 Day Camp Safety Plan
