More than 100 young people enjoyed the Sussex Family YMCA’s Healthy Kids Day held April 24 at the Rehoboth facility.
The kids enjoyed activities such as spin art, a giant inflatable obstacle course, a bouncy house, bubble guns, basketball and many more. They ended the day with a pool party.
Delicious frozen treats were given out for cool refreshment by Summer J Pops. The Rehoboth Beach Police Department gave away miniature footballs, bracelets and coloring activity books.
“It was a great turnout,” said Sussex Family YMCA Office Manager Ashley Savage. “The kids loved the activities and had a great time.”
