Overview
The Alaska Department of Health teams up with Healthy Futures to help give Alaska's young children the power of healthy habits.
Our work together helps Alaska's young children build the habit of daily physical activity for the best health. Healthy Futures is the signature program of the nonprofit Alaska Sports Hall of Fame.
Take the Challenge
The Healthy Futures Challenge is a three-month challenge that takes place each spring and fall and encourages Alaska’s kids to get out and play, every day. Joining is free, and children win prizes for being active.
Alaska children in kindergarten through sixth grade can take part.
Students keep a log of their daily physical activity. To complete the challenge, they need to be active at least 60 minutes a day for 15 days each month. This helps Alaska children get closer to the national recommendation of 60 minutes of physical activity every day for the best health.
Parents, you can support your children’s participation in the free Healthy Futures Challenge: Stay physically active as a family. And help your children complete their physical activity logs.
Find out if your child's school is participating in the Healthy Futures Challenge.
