MARCH TO YOUR OWN BEAT - Most Unique Physical Activity
Following the advice of our favorite philosopher, Henry David Thoreau, Walden students are encouraged to “march to the beat of their own drums.” Thus, this category award is for most unusual or creative physical activities. If you like to build your own obstacle courses, play underwater hockey, or participate in extreme lumberjack competitions, this is the category for you.ALL-STAR CHAMP - Most Competitive Athlete
Do you have a competitive spirit and love showing off your skills in a game? This category is for the athletes who frequently test their limits and participate in competitive events. Remember: you don’t have to win first place to be a winner; you’re a champion for aspiring to reach your full potential and being passionate about your sport.GOING THE DISTANCE - Most Incredible Endurance
This category is for the long-distance runners, triathlon competitors, horseback trail riders, or even record-breaking hula hoopers. If your physical activity demands time and endurance, you are a real contender.THE ADVENTURER - Most Rugged, Outdoor Activity
Thoreau was an avid naturalist and as demonstrated by his sojourn at Walden Pond, an advocate for finding oneself in the natural world. In line with this philosophy, Walden students are encouraged to learn through outdoor exploration. This category is for the trailblazing individuals who climb rocks, hike up mountains, and/or surf through the waves. If your sport requires being outside, you are entered to win!
