Being healthy means lots of things – growing up strong and active, making connections, developing positive relationships with others, and learning to make good, responsible decisions.</p><p>Here are some tips on how to keep your child's mind and body active this summer.</p><ul style="list-style-type:disc;"><li>Summer programs - over the summer months there are a wide variety of programs to keep children and youth active. Whether outdoors or in a facility like the YMCA, swimming is a summertime favourite. Consider signing your child up for swimming lessons, giving them the confidence they need to be safe in and around the water.</li><li>Summer day camps – summer camp is a great opportunity to introduce your child to "physical literacy." This means getting kids to feel comfortable being active, so when asked to play a game such as soccer at recess, they are confident to say "yes." Summer camp teaches children how to be active in a fun and supportive environment. </li><li>Child care - when looking for child care for your youngster, make sure the centre is health conscious and provides nutritious meals to ensure children develop in a positive environment. Try to find a centre that incorporates a "Play to Learn" curriculum and make sure the staff observe and document your child's daily activities. A good child care centre should feel like home away from home while providing the tools to help children reach their full potential. </li></ul><p> </p><p>The YMCA of Simcoe/Muskoka offers child care and summer programs for children of all ages and abilities.
