Providing innovative leadership for improving the health and quality of life of individuals and communities in Tioga County
STEP OUTDOORS...where health meets adventure!
“STEP OUTDOORS...where health meets adventure!,” is a call-to-action campaign designed to encourage awareness, utilization, and appreciation of the outdoor resources, facilities, and programs in and around Tioga County, for the purpose of getting people rooted in healthy behaviors. Through the active enjoyment and appreciation of our natural environment, we can improve the health of both ourselves and our communities.
The origin of Step Outdoors is found in a chronic disease prevention approach called Steps to a HealthierUS (local initiative: Steps to a HealthierPA, Tioga County). This prevention model seeks to encourage healthy behaviors, such as daily physical activity and good nutritional practices, where we live, learn, earn, pray, and play. Steps to a HealthierPA began working with outdoor partners (i.e. Department of Conservation and Natural Resources, US Army Corps of Engineers, and Wellsboro Parks and Recreation) to encourage use of public outdoor recreational facilities as a means to a more active lifestyle for the whole family, resulting in the "birth" of "Step Outdoors...where health meets adventure!".
