Participants will earn points for engaging in healthy behaviors, including being more physically active (hiking, biking or other activity of choice), engaging in healthy nutritional habits (drinking water or eating more fruits and vegetables), and participating in stress-reduction activities (yoga, dancing or sunrise/sunset viewing).

While special events will be offered at the park throughout the month, people may participate in the activities of their choice anywhere. This event will reintroduce the community to the pleasure of a healthy lifestyle and a great natural resource while raising funds to be used for park improvements.

Businesses, family, friends, schools, youth and church groups are all encouraged to participate.

To receive a registration form or for more information, call(262) 878-5600 or visit Richard Bong State Recreation Area during office hours. This event is sponsored by the Bong Naturalist Association.
