In today’s fast-paced digital world, where screens often dominate our daily lives, many are seeking refuge in nature to rejuvenate their mind, body, and spirit. To inspire those looking to focus on their wellness, or just looking for fun activities to partake in, we’ve created the New York State Parks Wellness Challenge.

This program supports Governor Kathy Hochul’s “Get Offline, Get Outside” initiative and calls for individuals and families to step away from their devices and immerse themselves in New York State’s natural beauty and expansive opportunities. The Wellness Challenge is more than just a call to explore. It’s an invitation to embrace a holistic approach to wellness in a setting that promotes mental clarity, physical vitality, and social connectivity.
