Event Details
Welcome to the Passport to Winter Fun!
Please register!
We will e-mail you more information about the Passport program along with updates about special Passport events.
The Passport to Winter Fun is an exciting program that encourages children and their families to get outside for some great winter fun. The Passport works like a board game; for each day that children are physically active, they move forward one step in their passport. Children earn healthful incentive prizes when they reach 10, 20, and 30 days of activity (see prize list below). Students who make it all the way to day 30 by March 16 will receive a "Polar Bear Achiever" t-shirt and will also be entered in the grand prize raffle to win one of several fabulous prizes (see below).
How can you HELP?
ENCOURAGE your children to be active outdoors this winter AND get out there with them!
REMIND your children to RECORD their activities in their Passports!
ATTEND a variety of great family events. Calendar of events at www.uvtrails.org.
SIGN and RETURN the Passport by March 16th! Mail the final page of the Passport to the address on the back of the booklet or remind your child to deposit the last page in their school drop box!
For additional information please contact Kari Speer (kari.speer@uvtrails.org) or call the Trails Alliance at (802) 649-9075. Visit our website at www.uvtrails.org.
