Summit 50 Plus Activity Challenge
Welcome to the Summer Activity Challenge! The challenge will be easy to use and allow you to record your activities once a month. Recordable activities will include brain health such as playing bridge, puzzles, reading etc, indoor activities, such as taking classes like yoga, swimming and exercising at home, and of course, outdoor activities such as walking your dog, hiking, and bike riding. Our Leader Board will show your progress as your points add up! Don’t live here during part of the summer? No problem, submit your monthly points via our website from wherever you are! Not sure if an activity counts? No problem if you are thinking or moving it counts. All activities will count 5 points. To sign up just fill in the fields with your name (non public) and create a fun nickname and age range (public on leader board) and submit your points once a month via our web site and that’s it. Participates will earn either a Black Diamond, Blue Square or a Green Circle award when the program ends September 15th.
