The Get Outside Challenge takes place during the months of June and July. The goals are to challenge kids, families, adults, and employees to spend more time being active outside!
Provides incentives to children (0-12 yrs.) for playing outdoors and tracking their time spent being active through their ‘play packets’ as well as offering free ‘nature & health play days.’ Outdoor play can be anything! Climbing a tree, scaling a park playscape, going to the pool, softball practice, summer camp, even having a tea party with your favorite stuffed animals…as long as you are outside! Participants will be given a log sheet to track their time spent playing outside. These sheets will be available at Cope Environmental Center, Morrison-Reeves Library, and to print from this website starting June 6th. For every 15 hour benchmark a kid reaches, they earn a special prize redeemable at Cope Environmental Center or Morrison-Reeves Library!These ‘Nature Play Days’ are free events during the summer that get kids moving outdoors and teach about the importance of healthy living. The ‘winter’ version of this program connects with all of the children in our school partnerships by working directly with teachers to give out incentives to their students.
Provides adolescents, adults, and area employers with incentives for tracking time spent exercising outdoors through log books at their workplace and a downloadable phone app. Adult health programs are designed to mimic and support the ones for children, creating a cohesive campaign for overall family wellness.
