Free Family Fun: Healthy Kids Day at the Alexandria Area YMCA
Join us on Saturday, April 18, for the Alexandria Area YMCA’s biggest celebration of the year! Healthy Kids Day is a free community event designed to get kids moving, learning, and inspired for a summer of success.
From bounce houses to fitness challenges, we’re filling the morning with activities that create lasting family memories right here in Douglas County.
This event is free and open to the entire Alexandria area community—no membership is required to participate in the fun!
