Why Take the Challenge?

The Vitamin N Challenge is organized by the Children & Nature Network.

Spending time in nature can boost health, creativity, and family connection. Yet many of us struggle to make it part of our daily lives. This challenge makes it easier by helping you set a simple, flexible goal to get outside. Find support with practical steps and inspiration.

Inspired by Richard Louv's book Vitamin N: The Essential Guide to a Nature-Rich Life, the challenge provides a collection of ideas, resources, and stories to help you (and your family, students, or community) enjoy more time outdoors.

How It Works

1. Choose Your Challenge: Set a goal that works for you.
