A Flexible Way to Spend More Time Outside Together

Most families want to spend more time outside — but tracking it is harder than it sounds.

Days blur together.
Outdoor time happens in small moments.
And before you know it, the goal quietly disappears.

The 1000 Hours Outside Board was designed to make outdoor time visible, flexible, and shared — so it becomes part of everyday life instead of another forgotten intention.

How the System Works (Simple + Satisfying)

This board uses a two-step tracking system that keeps progress motivating without feeling overwhelming.

• Each board includes 10 one-hour pieces

• Every hour your family spends outside earns one piece

• Once all 10 one-hour pieces are filled, you trade them in for a single 10-hour piece

• Then you reset the one-hour pieces and continue

This cycle repeats until you reach 1,000 hours — one visible step at a time.

Small moments still count.
Progress never feels “lost.”
And every reset feels like a win.

Why This Works Better Than Apps

Apps track time quietly — and quietly get ignored.

A physical tracker changes that.

When progress lives somewhere everyone can see:

• Outdoor time stays top of mind

• Kids feel excited to participate

• Missed days don’t erase momentum

• Progress feels real, not theoretical

The board becomes a reminder on your wall that getting outside matters — even when life gets busy.

Built for Families Without Trail Access

Not every family has easy access to hiking trails — and that shouldn’t disqualify them from an outdoor goal.

The 1000 Hours Outside Board works anywhere:

• Backyards

• Neighborhood walks

• Parks and playgrounds

• Snow days, summer evenings, and everything in between

If your family can step outside, this board works.

No Pressure. No Perfection. Just Progress.

You don’t have to hit 1,000 hours to succeed.

What matters is:

• Spending more time outside than you would have otherwise

• Creating shared moments that add up over time

• Building a rhythm that fits real life

This board isn’t about finishing — it’s about returning to the goal again and again.

Designed to Pair With Other Outdoor Goals

Some families prefer structured hikes.
Others prefer flexible outdoor time.
Many use both.

The 1000 Hours Outside Board was designed to complement goals like the 52 Hikes a Year Board, giving families multiple ways to stay connected to the outdoors — even when schedules or locations change.

A Quiet Reminder of What Matters

The best goals aren’t loud.
They’re visible.

This board doesn’t push or pressure.
It simply reminds your family — every day — that time outside together is worth protecting.
