Healthy Kids Day is a national event that began 30 years ago. YMCAs around the country participate each spring.

"It's important for kids to stay active and learning during the summer, not just during the school year," says Ronnie Stone, YMCA President and CEO. "Healthy Kids Day is a great way to encourage families to start planning summer activities."

The Yarrow Family YMCA is at 31105 East Thousand Oaks Blvd., Westlake Village (818-707-9622) and the Simi Valley Family YMCA is at 3200 Cochran St., Simi Valley (805-583-5338). For questions about sponsoring Healthy Kids' Day, contact Dani Hutchison at dhutchison@sevymca.org for more information.
