Healthy Kids Day is the Y’s national initiative to improve the health and well-being of kids and families. For over 30 years, YMCAs and their communities hosted free community events aimed to inspire kids and families to keep their minds and bodies active throughout the summer months and beyond.

Every June, we host a FREE family-friendly Rock the Block event at the YMCA of Downtown Manchester. Enjoy tasty food and drinks, get hands-on with games and crafts, bounce to your heart’s content in the bounce house, and jam out to music. Don’t forget your swimsuit and towel for free swim in the pool! With so much to do, it’s the perfect way to spend the day with your family.

At the Y, we believe a welcoming community takes all of us—creating spaces where every neighbor feels like they belong, unlikely connections are made, and each of us has the opportunity to thrive. Join us as we celebrate Welcoming Week, typically the second week in September, because there’s no place like the Y for welcoming neighbors!

During Community Campaign Week, typically held in March, branches across The Granite YMCA come together for a special week full of fun, connection, and impact. The goal of Community Campaign Week is to celebrate what we can achieve when we come together for our neighbors. Every gift—large or small—helps remove barriers, create opportunities, and strengthen our community.

Many of our branches host kids’ nights (also known as Kids’ Night Out), teen nights, and family nights throughout the year.

Kids’ Night Out

During Kids’ Night Out, kids ages 5 to 12 years get to take a night out and play with their friends for a while at the Y. With different themes and activities each month, this is sure to be a great time! Did we mention dinner is included and it’s FREE to those with Granite YMCA family memberships?

Teen Nights

Teen Nights are a great way for teens to have fun, meet new people, make new memories, and stay active. From swim nights to epic movie screenings, dance parties, theatre arts, and more, there’s something for everyone to enjoy. We like to add some excitement to our Teen Nights by adding themes to each night, making each event a unique and memorable experience.

Family Nights

Throughout the year, we offer fun-filled family nights at the YMCA! These special event brings families together with engaging activities and memorable experiences. Our family nights are all about having fun with the people you love. They typically occur on weekend evenings and include a variety of activities. Stop by your local Welcome Center and ask about upcoming family events!
