🎉 The 2026 1000 Hours Outside Trackers Are Here — and They’re FREE!

Start the year with a fun family challenge that gets everyone moving, exploring, and making memories outdoors.

If you’ve been around my family for more than five minutes, you know one thing for sure: we LOVE being outside. From muddy shoes to sweaty summer afternoons, some of our very best memories are made outdoors. So what better way to kick off a new year than with a simple, fun challenge the whole family can do together?

🌎 What Is 1000 Hours Outside?

1000 Hours Outside is a movement that encourages families to spend 1,000 hours outside each year to help kids rediscover the joy of outdoor play while balancing our screen-heavy world.

It might sound overwhelming, but when you break it down, it’s only about 2–4 hours a day. Remember — it’s not about perfection, it’s about progress.
