Visit Every Park Within 10 Miles of Your Home

Did you know there are probably parks in your own city and neighborhood that you’ve never heard of or been to? It’s true! … You might think you already know about the parks around your house, but this is the time to dig deep. You’ll want to locate every tiny neighborhood park and destination to complete this challenge. Use Google maps to punch in your address and do a search. There have to be at least a few that you’ve never been to. If you live in a really small town or one that doesn’t have a lot of parks, take this challenge to a more urban area. It’s a great way to explore a new area… Jack’s Top Tips: Be flexible. If you need more parks to visit or if there’s too may to visit in 1 day, change the radius of your park search around your house.

Go Stargazing in the Middle of Nowhere

Stargazing is always a good way to get outside and experience the great outdoors, but it’s particularly awesome when you go somewhere amazing to do it. The best way to see the stars is to go to a remote, empty area where there’s no city light for miles and miles… Think of a place that you’ve always wanted to go to, and then look for a remote area out in nature that you can travel to. This will be the perfect place to go gazing for stars… Study up on your stars. Learning your constellations is such a rewarding experience. Once you teach yourself how to pick out some of the basic constellations, like the Big Dipper, Little Dipper, Taurus, and Orion, you’ll always be able to find them in the night sky… Jack’s Top Tips: Bring bug spray along. Not a lot of people like being bitten by mosquitoes. That’s why you should bring bug spray along, to avoid that mess.
