Outdoor More Challenge

July 15 - Oct. 15, 2021

Get outside!

Take the Outdoor More Challenge July 15 – Oct. 15 for better mental and physical health and a chance to win prizes.

Through Oct. 15, the department is sponsoring a staff wellness challenge that boosts mental and physical health while providing a chance to win prizes. Here's how it works:

Step 1. Have fun outside. 

Any outdoor recreational activity counts! Some examples include walking, biking, gardening, fishing, golfing, hiking and swimming.

Step 2. Track hours spent outside July 15 to October 15.

Use a tracking method that works for you: notepad, FitBit, mobile app, etc. Record the date, type of outdoor activity, and number of hours. The top contenders will be asked to submit their activity logs/trackers to Wellness Coordinator Caitlin Rudolph for verification at the end of the challenge. 

Step 3. Submit a completed Web Focus Form each month.

Participants will receive an email with a link to the Web Focus Form on Aug. 16, Sept. 15 and Oct. 15. Complete and submit the form showing the preceding month's tracked activity hours. Each form will be available for one week. Watch for the GovDelivery email!
