WCPD 100 Hours Outside Challenge 2025
Help your kids UNPLUG and GET OUTSIDE this summer to earn cool prizes. ANY time outside counts! Every child who completes challenge will receive a prize and will be entered into a grand prize drawing.
Just print off the tracking sheet, keep tabs on how much time your child spends outdoors between Memorial Day and Labor Day, and submit the form by 9/1 at midnight. We suggest hanging it in a high-profile location as a good reminder to have fun outside: the fridge, next to the TV, or on the bathroom mirror are all good options!
The grand prize drawing will take place at the 9/18 Park Board meeting (winner does not need to be present). Prizes will be available beginning on 9/22.
