What to do (all ages)

Earn a virtual badge, a grand prize entry ticket, and a coupon or small prize for every five activities you complete (there are five small prizes available).

Keep logging activities until August 1 for more grand prize entries (you can enter the grand prize drawing up to 13 times, including the Scavenger Hunt badge and badges earned for signup and completion). Pick up all prizes by Sat., August 9.
