Earn a President's Challenge Award with Snow Sports

President's Challenge AwardsYou can earn a President's Challenge Award by combining snowshoeing, snowboarding, alpine skiing, and/or cross country skiing with any other physical activity. Children, teens and adults can choose from two programs, Active Lifestyle or Presidential Champions, and follow four easy steps to earn awards.

  1. Choose an activity.
    Any snow sport – snowshoeing, snowboarding, alpine skiing or cross country skiing – can be combined with other activities such as running, walking or even an exercise class. Be sure to look for snow sports on the activities list.
  2. Get active
    If you're younger than 18, your daily activity goal is 60 minutes a day, five days a week for six weeks. The goal for adults (18 and older) is 30 minutes a day, five days a week for six weeks. You can spread this out over a period of eight weeks if you like.
  3. Track Activity
    An on-line activity log makes it easy to track time spent on activities. Log on as many times as necessary.
  4. Earn an Award
    The Active Lifestyle and Presidential Champions programs recognize accomplishments with special awards.
