Winding Creek Animal Club Fitness Challenge

What is the Winding Creek Animal Club Fitness Challenge?
It is a voluntary extracurricular program that promotes physical activity.

Who can participate?
All students, parents, family and staff are encouraged to participate.

How is mileage counted?
Twenty minutes of physical activity equals one mile. However, one hour practices for sports teams count as one mile. For example, one hour of basketball practice equals one mile. Twenty minutes of biking equals one mile. The activity should elevate the participant's heart rate for the entire twenty minutes.

How should mileage be recorded?
Log sheets are sent home that have blocks on them. Students should cross of or color in the blocks after they complete one mile of activity. Filling in the date is not mandatory.

Are there any rewards?
Do you mean besides feeling healthier, having more energy, and staying in or getting in great shape? You bet. Students will receive a shoe token every time they earn into a new club. They will also sign their names to the poster of each club they make. Students who complete enough miles to be in the Falcon Club will also earn a certificate.
