It’s Time Texas is hosting a free, statewide Sweet Summer Habits Campaign to encourage all Texans to kick off summer on the right foot by practicing healthy habits. With a downloadable calendar full of healthy activities, virtual physical activity classes, telehealth coaching, and incentives for active participants, the focus on summertime health is stronger than ever before!

As part of this campaign, It’s Time Texas has partnered with three schools in the Mid-Valley region of Texas for the 2022 Sweet Summer Habits Campaign with a goal of encouraging health throughout the summer months for students, their families, and all community members. Through this partnership, It’s Time Texas will support these schools with resources and tools needed to stay actively engaged with their students, staff, and families during summer, sending positive, health-focused messaging about the campaign, and encouraging ongoing participation.

It’s Time Texas is providing a free, 30-day downloadable calendar in both English and Spanish listing a different healthy activity each day of June. The statewide nonprofit incentivizes Sweet Summer Habits Campaign participants with chances to win prizes; participants simply track their healthy activities on their It’s Time Texas Sweet Summer Habits Campaign score sheet and submit their completed score sheet to summer@itstimetexas.org by July 10th at 5:59 p.m. (CST) for a chance to win a prize.

Sweet Summer Habits Campaign participants will earn points during the Sweet Summer Habits Campaign by following the healthy habits on the June calendar and by signing up and participating in It’s Time Texas’ programs. It’s Time Texas’ free, virtual physical activity classes and telehealth coaching support are a part of the It’s Time Texas Sweet Summer Habits Campaign. The virtual physical activity classes are free, available in Spanish and English, six days a week, and designed to meet the needs of Texans at any fitness level. It’s Time Texas’ free, confidential, one-on-one telehealth coaching program is available in Spanish and English, via phone, text, and video, so that every Texan has access to professional support with setting their personal health goals, establishing healthier habits, and preventing and managing chronic conditions. By registering and participating in these programs, participants will earn points toward the Sweet Summer Habits Campaign!
