The newest innovation from the Y movement includes12Bursts, an online website with activities toget kids moving and thinking!

Every day, the 12Bursts website has a Daily Dozen that includes 12 new 5-minute activities. Everything can be done for free at home and keeps families having fun with 12Bursts. Theres something for everyone, regardless of age or ability. Activities like Zoo & You asks each player to become their favorite animal. In High Knees, participants run or walk with high knees to the count of 10.

Due to COVID-19 we know families are spending a lot more time at home, where it becomes more difficult to get the recommended 60 minutes of daily physical activity, said Paul Kieltyka, President& CEO of the Summit Area YMCA. We saw a need for kids activities that could be accessed from anywhere, which hopefully helps ease the burden of our parents and our community. For over a hundred years, the Y has continuously evolved to meet the changing needs of our community. Were excited to offer something that is kid-approved and adult-friendly.
