Wanderlust Challenge 2022
January 15th - February 5th

One more time! Thanks to our sponsors and volunteer leaders who encourage us to get out and play in a safe way!!

HERE’S HOW IT WORKS

Register Your Team starting January 12th (The First 55 teams to register receive a FREE 4-pack of Fresh Press Cider from Stowe Cider!)
Wanderlust Challenge starts Saturday, January 15th through Saturday, February 5, 2022.
Make sure you (or someone else) takes a photo of you or your mascot completing each activity. (For example, Team #5’s mascot might be an action figure, or a banana, while Team #8’s mascot could be their dog.) If you choose a mascot, it must be photographed at each completed challenge.
Teams must be from one household, per COVID best practices, and a team can earn points one time for each activity (e.g. cannot build two snow forts).
Upload completed activities with picture documentation to waterburywinterfest.com/wanderlust in order to be eligible for fabulous weekly prize drawings!
