Weekly Quests

Camp Chair Council is Week 23 of Outside's 52-week family quest calendar: a 45-minute outdoor gathering where your family sits together, talks honestly, and builds a simple meeting plan for those rare moments when everyone gets separated. It is easy enough for any family, meaningful enough to remember all summer.

Week 48 of the Outside family quest calendar sends your crew out to map the real heroes of your neighborhood: fire station, hospital, police station, and emergency shelter. It is a 45-minute walk with a purpose, and families come home knowing their town a little better than when they left.

Week 40 of Outside's 52-week family quest calendar sends your crew into the neighborhood to help a neighbor with a small outdoor or home task. It is one of the easiest quests on the calendar and one of the most quietly memorable. Sixty minutes, a pair of comfortable shoes, and a willingness to show up is all it takes.

No-Screen Saturday Hour is Week 13 of the Outside 52-week family quest calendar — a simple, joyful challenge to spend one full hour outside together with no devices. Families earn the Unplugged badge and 200 XP by exploring, noticing, and sharing what they find. It is one of the most-loved quests on the calendar because the payoff is immediate and the memories last.

Trail Cleanup sends your family outside with a simple, satisfying mission: pick up trash on a local trail, park path, or neighborhood greenway and leave it better than you found it. In about an hour, kids discover that stewardship feels less like a chore and more like an adventure with a visible, tangible reward. This is Week 31 of the Outside 52-week family quest calendar.
