The winter edition of the Get Outdoors Challenge is back! Pull out your mittens, throw on your coat, grab your boots, and explore the winter wonderland of western Pennsylvania. Migrating is for the birds, and we’re leaving hibernation to the bears!

Check out the winter activity checklist! Once you have completed the required number of activities for your grade level, girls and adults can register to earn the Get Outdoors Challenge patch or winter leaf if they have already earned the patch through a previous challenge. The design of the winter leaf is new for 2018-19! You must complete your registration by April 15 to be eligible to receive the free patch.
