Let me be honest, when we are on the road, getting active with the kids happens organically. Mountain biking trails are usually right out our door, or amazing hiking options, or lakes to paddle. Our small living space also forces us outside more.

However, when we are home (like we’ve been for the last week and a half) I have to get more creative. It is hotter out and the lure of cooler air conditioning draws us indoors. Many hiking and biking trails are further away than when we are camped next door. A 45 minute drive is often enough for me to cancel. 🙁

Next week we are launching the second annual Kid’s Moving Miles Week and I’d love you you all to join us!

It’s no secret that many kids just aren’t moving enough anymore. Between the lure of screens to a fear of letting them roam more freely, kids are spending more time indoors and less time outdoors moving. While finding a solution is huge and involves a widespread commitment from our society in general, we are doing our part this year to start helping where it matters most – at home!

The “Kids Moving Miles!” challenge is a spur off our wildly successful 365 Mile Challenge, running throughout 2019. It’s a response to parents, but most importantly, KIDS who want in too. And since our larger goal is “families outside and healthy”, we couldn’t ignore that plea AND wanted to reach as many kids as possible.

What it is:

• A mini challenge just for KIDS to go a self-powered mile a day for a week.
• A kick-off to summer (and hopefully a boost to get out and moving!)
• Daily emails delivered to families (and then passed on to kids) for encouragement and ideas on how and where to get moving!
• Giveaways just for kids announced in emails (all signed up kids/families are eligible!)
• A FREE digital magazine offered to all participants.
• Finishers certificate for every finisher!

When:

June 24-30
