Get Offline and Get Outside
Governor Hochul is encouraging all New Yorkers to get offline and get outside!
The “Get Offline, Get Outside” campaign encourages New York’s kids and families to put down their phones and computers, take a break from social media, enjoy recreation and outdoor social gatherings, and put their mental and physical health first.
The campaign builds on the governor's efforts to promote healthy living among young people and families, including signing first-in-the-nation legislation to protect kids from addictive social media feeds and shield their personal data from online platforms.
Fun Ways for New Yorkers to Get Offline and Get Outside
New York State’s kids and families are encouraged to put down their phones and enjoy the outdoors as part of this Get Offline, Get Outside Challenge. It invites participants to explore parks, forests, and other outdoors spaces in their communities and across the state. Complete all 50 activities before turning age 19 and earn a commemorative sticker and downloadable certificate.
Have Fun in New York State!
