BELLEFONTE — The Bellefonte YMCA will host a free “Healthy Kids Night” from 6 to 9 p.m. Saturday, April 14, at its facility, 125 W. High St.
The event will promote the benefits of physical activity and healthy eating to local kids. Families with children are welcome to attend; no membership or registration is required. Activities such as basketball, a bounce house and pool golf will be featured.
The event is being implemented by eight Penn State students in a special programming course in the Department of Recreation, Park and Tourism Management. Helping to coordinate is Steve Greecher, aquatic/youth program director at the YMCA, who has been running events with Penn State students for several years.
Each semester, the students collaborate with 10 local nonprofit organizations, campus organizations and state parks to plan, promote, implement and evaluate special events. The events are generally free and open to the public.
