MEDINA – Orleans Community Health recently announced Family Fun Fridays, a new summer series designed to bring families together through fun, active and educational experiences, while connecting them with local organizations and health resources.
Taking place every other week throughout the summer, these free events encourage children and families to stay active, learn healthy habits and discover programs and services available throughout Orleans County. Family Fun Fridays are part of Orleans Community Health’s ongoing Healthy Communities initiative, which focuses on prevention, education and community connection.
The Medina events take place in the park south of Medina Memorial Hospital, while one in Lyndonville will be at Yates Town Park pavilion. All Family Fun Fridays are free and open to the public.
This Friday’s event will feature Children’s Yoga, presented by Hometown Wellness. Children will be introduced to yoga through engaging, age-appropriate activities that promote movement, mindfulness, relaxation and overall wellness.
At the Aug. 7 event at Yates Town Park, families from across the area are invited to enjoy activities, games and opportunities to connect with local organizations serving children and families.
The Aug. 21 Family Fun Friday finale in Medina will conclude with another afternoon of family-friendly activities, community engagement and health and wellness resources.
Each event will feature interactive activities for children, along with information from community organizations which prove programs and services benefiting local families. Parents and caregivers will have the opportunity to learn about healthcare, wellness, education, recreation and other community resources available throughout Orleans County.
“Family Fun Fridays are about creating opportunities for families to spend quality time together, while promoting healthy lifestyles and introducing them to the many organizations that help make our community stronger,” said Scott Robinson, director of marketing for Orleans Community Health. “We hope these events become a fun summer tradition that encourages families to stay active, build connections and discover resources that support their health and well-being.”
Community organizations and Orleans Community Health departments interested in hosting an informational table or providing a family-friendly activity are encouraged to participate.
In addition to Family Fun Fridays, Orleans Community Health is currently planning a Children’s Wellness Fair in Albion, further expanding opportunities for children and families to access health education, wellness resources and community support.
