Calvert Health 1000 Hours Challenge

1000 Hours Outside is a global movement designed for individuals of any age in any environment. Join the journey and watch your life transform before your eyes.

This challenge is all about making small changes that will have a big impact. You will be making decisions every day to do an activity that you normally may have done inside - and instead, transition it outside (for example, reading a book or eating lunch).

Join The Challenge
