NRG OUTDOORS CHALLENGE
The nrg Outdoors Challenge is a two-week activity that equips youth with the skills needed to engage in outdoor recreation activities and learn five important behaviors for maintaining good health.
During week one of the curriculum, a classroom teacher instructs youth on ways to achieve each of five daily behaviors: one hour of physical activity – emphasizing outdoor activity; limiting non-educational screen time to less than two hours and conserving electricity; eating three balanced meals and nutritious snacks; drinking at least four cups of water to stay hydrated throughout the day; and buying local fruits and vegetables to get the recommended five servings per day.
The second week, students are “challenged” to act one or more of the behaviors with a friend or family member outside of the classroom.
