Welcome! CalvertHealth is excited to launch the 2023 1000 Hours Outside Challenge!

Here you’ll find inspiration and information to help you match screen time with green time.

1000 Hours Outside is a global movement designed for any age child (or adult) and any environment. Join the journey and watch your life transform before your eyes. Nature holds tremendous power for each and every one of us at any age or stage.

This challenge may seem unattainable to some, but please note that ANY additional amount outside is a WIN! For some participants, just getting to the first benchmark of 100 hours outside is going to be a HUGE deal and CalvertHealth and its partners want to celebrate all of the milestones with you. This challenge is all about making small changes that will have a big impact. For example, consider taking everyday activities like lunch or a reading a book outside.

If you decide to participate, we encourage you to sign up to receive the monthly newsletter. This newsletter will include monthly tips and tricks to get outside, a calendar of outside events you can attend, a monthly blog post and more!

An important part of this challenge is going to involve staying accountable and connected to your community and those who are also doing the challenge. Please share your stories, pictures and more on social media. Make sure to tag @CalvertHealth (Instagram and Facebook) and use the hashtag: #CalvertChallenge and #GetCalvertOutside. We also have hour trackers that you can download to keep up with how many hours you have completed so far! Follow the link below to download the trackers.
