Summer Wellbeing Adventure

July 10 - August 4, 2023

Join us on a 4-week adventure to help prioritize the things that nourish your wellbeing and bring you joy!

How it works: For four weeks - July 10 through August 4 - participants will receive a weekly email focused on a wellbeing theme (see below), with inspiration, activities, and recipes to try individually or as a team. Join anytime from anywhere, and share photos, fun, and chat on our special Teams channel! We also expect some amusing appearances by Wilbur Wellbear, Touchdown's much less competitive cousin. And there will be drawings each week for lots of awesome prizes!

Join The Summer Wellbeing Adventure!
