Research shows that without access to out-of-school physical and learning activities, kids fall behind academically and gain weight twice as fast during summer than the school year. YMCA’s Healthy Kids Day will help parents begin thinking early about what their kids need to grow and achieve all summer.CONTACT:Abigail Weaver, 423.765.9904, aweaver@ymcakpt.org
