Do I need to have a computer (laptop) with me when I do a Challenge?

ABSOLUTELY NOT!!!! The whole idea is to get you outside! Just look at the requirements for a Challenge that you want to do in the Challenge Notebook. Then remember some of the questions we will ask you. Use the website to help you PLAN your activities, but you will not need it when you are doing the Challenge.

How long do I have to complete 15 Challenges?

Take as long as you need; there is no deadline to complete the challenges. The important thing is to get out there and do it!

How can I track my progress?

Tracking your progress is real simple.

When you Log In, you will be taken to the Challenge Central page. On this page you will see a bunch of information:

Date Started: When you registered

Challenges Completed: How many Challenges have you completed (out of the total requirment of 15)

Days remaining for Completion: This counts down the days until the end of the year.

When you complete a Challenge, the 'icon" in the tree will turn gray. That same icon will appear in the "Completed Challenges" bar at the bottom of the page. This is a simple way to tell which Challenges you have finished!

Its up to you to remember which Challenges you have started, but not quite finished.


++++++++++

If I start a Challenge, do I have to complete it?
  1. No. You can enter answers into the Challenge Notebook for any Challenge, but you do not have to finish it.

Even if you "Complete" a Challenge, you can "undo" it by deleting an answer -- that Challenge will no longer be on record as completed.


++++++++++

Once I complete a Challenge can I change an answer?

Yes. A completed Challenge can be modified.

You can even change a Challenge's status from Completed to not-completed by deleting one of the answers. If you do that, all you have to do is re-answer the question and it will be listed as completed again.


++++++++++

Can I change my photo after I have uploaded one?

Yes. You can upload a new photo and it will replace the old one.
