UPEI Spring-into-Wellness Challenge, Wellness Check, and Fitness Open House!
The UPEI Spring-into-Wellness Challenge is designed exclusively for UPEI staff and faculty to prioritize well-being through fun, themed, daily activities. This exciting four-week individual challenge starts on Monday, May 25, and ends on Sunday, June 21, 2026.
Each week, registered participants are sent a form outlining the associated wellness activities for the week under a daily theme. Participants are encouraged to complete at least one activity per day related to the themes of wellness for that day and then submit their completed wellness activities form by noon the following Monday. These activities will correlate with the themes of:
Mindful Mondays
Tasty Tuesdays
Wellness Wednesdays
Thoughtful Thursdays
Fitness Fridays
Participants who submit their forms will be entered into a Weekly Draw of a gift bag valued at over $50. At the end of the challenge, all participants will be entered in a Grand Prize Draw (valued at approximately $500) for either a Mysa Nordic Spa and Resort package (one-night accommodations and two Thermal Spa passes) OR a Mill River Resort Golf package (one night stay for two people and two rounds of golf per person)—winner’s choice!
