We scoured social media and calendars for the latest and greatest happening in and near the county to earn 570GO hours.
570GO is our initiative to encourage participants to spend 570 hours getting outdoors from May to May. While it may be too late to squeeze in 570 hours if you start now, don’t let that stop you. Enter your start date on the tracker and aim for 1.5 hours a day or 11 hours a week from your start date! You don’t have to fill the sheet but do your best to get outdoors and earn as many hours as possible by May 31st!
Getting outdoors can mean something different for each person: hiking, enjoying a picnic, attending a festival, fishing, etc. Here are a few unique outdoor opportunities happening in or near* Schuylkill this weekend.
