The Y-Challenge will not always be physical. Some will be outside and some will be online. You may have the opportunity to draw, paint, write, phone a friend or make up a dance. The challenges will change each week and will be for all ages, stages and abilities.
You’ll be able to share your Y-Challenge creations with friends and family or upload them to social media to interact with an online audience. Plus, if you use #Ychallenge when you upload, you could win the prize for the most creative entry!
Make sure you’re following YMCA Victoria’s Instagram page so you don’t miss the Y-Challenge launch with Casey and Kergen every Friday!
