Weekly Quests

Backyard Basecamp turns your own yard into a genuine first camp. Families pitch a tent or rig a tarp, make it cozy inside, and spend a couple of hours reading, snacking, and telling stories under the open sky. It is Week 3 of Outside's 52-week family quest calendar, and it earns every kid the Backyard Camper badge.

The Backyard Campout is Week 39 of Outside's 52-week family quest calendar — a one-night sleep under the open sky that turns your own yard into the first page of a longer story. Families earn the Backyard Expedition badge by showing up, setting up, and paying attention to the world right outside their door. Simple as that, and worth every minute.

Campfire Breakfast is Week 2 of Outside's 52-week family quest calendar — a simple, satisfying challenge that turns an ordinary morning into a genuine outdoor adventure. Families pick a menu, divide up the cooking jobs, and sit down to a meal that tastes better than anything made indoors. Complete the quest in the Outside app and earn the Campfire Cook badge.

Moving dinner outside turns an ordinary weeknight into something the whole family talks about for years. This Outside quest walks families through planning, cooking, and eating a full meal outdoors together, building real kitchen confidence along the way.

The Outdoor Skills Relay turns your backyard into a friendly competition where kids pack bags, tie knots, haul water, and light lanterns as a team. It is Week 49 of Outside's 52-week family quest calendar, built for an afternoon that sticks with everyone long after the gear is put away. Earn the Relay Crew badge by completing the quest inside the Outside app.

Week 52 of the Outside family quest calendar brings the whole season together in one half-day adventure your family plans and leads yourselves. Using skills built across 51 weeks, you head outside with open eyes, a shared goal, and the confidence that comes from a year spent exploring. Complete the quest in the Outside app to earn the Season One Explorer badge.

The Water Carry Challenge is a 45-minute family quest that turns a simple bucket of water into a genuine lesson in strength, teamwork, and how essential this resource really is. Families carry water a short distance, feel the weight in their arms and legs, and come home with something better than tired muscles: a story worth telling. Complete this quest inside the Outside app and earn the Water Carrier badge.
