  • YMCA HOSTING EVENTS GEARED TOWARD CHILDREN AND FITNESS

    (ATLANTIC) The Nishna Valley Family YMCA in Atlantic is hosting several upcoming events geared towards kids and fitness.

     

    Tamara Gibson, Coordinator for the Kids Fun Fitness events, said the first event will be held on May 30th at the “Y”.

     

    “We have the National Guard coming, they are bringing their climbing wall and a gladiator style obstacle course, we’re hoping 5 to 7 of the guard members with us and they’ll be running a little boot camp,” said Gibson. “So if you’ve ever wondered what it was like to go to boot camp, I’m hoping that it will give you a feeling for that.”

     

    Gibson said 4th through 6th grades will participate from 10 to 11:30 a.m. and 7th and 8th grades will participate from 12 to 1:30 p.m.

     

    The second event, called “Water Fun in the Sun”, will be held June 6th.

     

    “The Atlantic Fire Department is coming, they’re bringing their truck and we’re going to make a huge slip and slide and they’re going to make a giant sprinkler for us and we’re going to have water fights and water balloons,” explained Gibson.

     

    Gibson said for this event 6th through 8th grades will participate from 12 to 12:45 p.m. and 4th and 5th grades will participate from 1 to 2 p.m.

     

    For both of these events, parents need to sign a waiver for their children and they must register before the event at the “Y”.

     

    Gibson said these events coincide with the Summer Lunch Program at the “Y”, which begins May 29th, so children can have lunch before or after the events if they choose.

     

    A finale event for the whole family will be held June 24th from 4 to 6 p.m. at the “Y”. Gibson said they’ll be hosting a Down-home Country Hoe-Down.

     

    “We have a mechanical bull coming, we’re going to do stationary steer roping, line dancing and square dancing, the beef producers are coming and they’re going to grill some burgers for us and we’re going to have prizes and old fashioned kids games,” said Gibson.

     

    Gibson said the focus on these events is to get kids out and active.

     

    “One of the major concerns is the lack of movement that we’re seeing in children with computers and games and things, so quite often we’re looking ways to get kids moving,” said Gibson. “So, we were lucky enough to receive this grant so we could have this Kids Fun Fitness.”

     

    All of these events are free and you do not have to be a member of the YMCA to participate!
