What is Humans Don’t Hibernate?

Humans Don’t Hibernate is an annual, countywide wellness campaign that encourages residents to prioritize their health during a time of year when physical activity often declines and healthy routines can be more difficult to maintain.

The campaign runs from October 1 through December 31. Each month features three
challenges designed to support different areas of wellness:

 Physical Health Challenge
 Mental Health Challenge
 Nutrition Challenge

Who Should Participate?

EVERYONE!
Our team works hard to make sure every challenge can be adapted for people of all ages, abilities, and lifestyles. Whether you’re looking to build a new healthy habit, stay active, try something new, or simply take a little more time for yourself, there’s a place for you in Humans Don’t Hibernate.

How Can Someone Participate?

There are lots of ways to join in on the fun!

Check this page or follow us on Facebook to find each month’s challenges. Complete as many—or as few—as you’d like. There’s no pressure to do everything. Every step counts!

If you complete a challenge, we’d love for you to share a photo and tell us how it went.

Tried a new recipe? Share that, too! Your experience might inspire someone else to give it a try.

And help us spread the word!

The Most Important Question… Why?
Because YOU MATTER. YOUR HEALTH MATTERS.

Health doesn’t have to be hard. You don’t have to reinvent yourself overnight to be “healthy.” Small changes can make a big difference, and every positive step you take is a step toward a healthier future.  So, take those steps with us.

Grab a friend. Bring your family. Challenge a coworker. Or start this journey on your own.

There’s no perfect way to participate. There’s no finish line you have to race toward. Just take the next step—and let’s take it together.  Humans Don’t Hibernate. We keep moving, growing, and taking care of ourselves—all winter long.
