In between crawling through an obstacle course and getting their faces painted Friday, children could also partake in educational activities hosted by organizations like the Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank and Family Pathways all in the gymnasiums at YMCAs in Butler.

The Rose Schneider YMCA in Cranberry Township hosted its Kids Day on Saturday.

The YMCA hosts its annual Healthy Kids Day to commemorate the national Every Kid Healthy Week.

Multiple organizations offered free activities to children and their parents at the YMCA, but the officials manning the booths also provided information about the services they provide.

“It’s for kids and parents to connect with resources that can benefit them,” said the YMCA’s healthy living director Heidi Nicholls Bowser.
