Join the year-long celebration of America's 250th birthday in 2026 with the Kansas Outdoor Recreation Challenge.

The Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks invites you to take part in a year-long adventure across our state’s public lands. Whether you're a seasoned hiker, curious birdwatcher, or weekend camper, this challenge is your chance to connect with nature, discover new places, and celebrate Kansas’s legacy of outdoor recreation.

Register and log ten of your favorite ways to spend time outside in Kansas between now and July 4, 2026. We'll send you a certificate of completion (and maybe some other fun things), but the real reward is the memories you'll make along the way.
