Join the Healthy Futures Challenge

Join the free and fun Healthy Futures Challenge each school year.

Alaska's Play Every Day campaign works with the nonprofit Healthy Futures program to provide a physical activity challenge for families with elementary-age kids.

Dozens of elementary schools across Alaska sign up to offer the challenge to kids each spring and fall.

Kids are active wherever and however they choose to move. They log that activity and win prizes when they're active at least 60 minutes a day for 15 days each month. Parents can support their children by being active as a family.

Find out if your child's school is signed up for the Healthy Futures Challenge. If so, join your child in being active during the challenge. If not, talk to your principal or teachers about signing up the school for the next challenge.
