Free and open to the community!
Get ready to celebrate healthy habits, active play, and family fun — all in one place! The Minot Family YMCA is excited to host Healthy Kids Day, a free, annual event that brings together families for a morning packed with games, activities, and giveaways designed to inspire healthier lifestyles and help kids stay active, engaged, and thriving all year long. This year our national sponsor is Peanuts so all of our activities are themed with the Peanuts Gang!

Why We Celebrate Healthy Kids Day
Healthy Kids Day is a nationwide YMCA initiative aimed at helping kids and families stay active and learning all year long — especially heading into summer, when structure and routine often shift. By encouraging physical activity, connection, and positive habits, the Y is proud to be part of your family's journey toward health and well-being.
Join us April 26 from 10 AM to 1 PM for a day filled with smiles, energy, and community spirit — and bring your friends! This is one event you won’t want to miss. 💙
