With schools closed and activities cancelled, it is more important than ever to get kids outside. Time outside is critical to the physical and mental well-being of our children, and ourselves. That is why Science Discovery is partnering with other organizations and agencies from across our community to launch the Outside Every Day Challenge! Join us by signing the Outside Every Day pledge, and agreeing to try your best to get the children you care for outside every day. You will receive regular emails from OutsideEveryDayChallenge.org with activities, contests, safety tips, and encouragement.
Want to encourage your friends and neighbors to getting outside every day too? Share photos of what you are doing outside on Facebook or Instagram and use #OutsideEveryDay. We will share specific photo challenges and more outdoor activities in the coming weeks so follow us on Facebook and Instagram.
Getting outside is easy, fun, and safe - even during these unprecedented times. Just open your door, and go outside! You can:
Take a short walk through your neighborhood - Take a bike ride through your local area
- Play in your yard or at a nearby park (avoiding play equipment)
- Find a shady spot under a tree to complete a school project, an art project or read a book
- Explore a local open space
Rise to the challenge, and get outdoors today!
