Take Me Outside Winter Challenge 2023

This annual initiative encourages educators and learners to embrace the season and get outside, no matter the weather. Each year, we showcase some of the many activities that can be enjoyed outdoors, even in the very coldest months! But you don’t need to be an expert to have fun. Even though the 2023 Challenge has ended, you can still find endless inspiration through the hashtags #TMOWinterChallenge & #DéfiHivernal. For even more, access our daily Activity Guide, and sign up for our newsletter to make sure you join into upcoming events!
