New Pioneers is excited to bring back the #1000HoursOutsideKY Challenge for our community members this summer! Join us in recording ALL time spent in the great outdoors from June 1st - September 1st, 2025, to help our community reach our cumulative goal of at least 1,000 hours spent in nature this season.
Why should I participate? It's simple! Time spent outdoors = happier and healthier people (and planet)! You're bound to feel the mental, physical, and social benefits of nature through this unique challenge, and we hope your whole crew will join in on the fun.
How do I participate? It's easy! Simply track your hours spent outside from June 1st to September 1st, 2025, and submit them to our Response Form. You will have access to this form all summer and may make multiple submissions, so feel free to submit your hours daily, weekly, monthly, or at the end of the challenge! All submissions are due by the end of the day on Monday, September 1st, 2025.
PLUS, you can download and print our Personal Tracking Sheet to monitor your progress!
Be sure to check out our community's progress below! This meter will be regularly updated throughout this challenge as submissions are made.
