New Changes Coming to Your HPHP Rewards 🌿

Big changes are coming to the app Rewards this summer!

Since launching in 2015, HPHP has shipped over 6,000 free rewards to Tennesseans who’ve stepped outside to walk, hike, bike, paddle, and explore. You’ve helped us grow to over 14,000 app users statewide, and we are truly grateful.

As a small nonprofit, HPHP relies on grant funding and generous donors to keep our app and reward program free. Last year, we introduced a small shipping fee to help offset costs. Thanks to your understanding, we were able to keep sending rewards across the state.

🛠 What’s Changing?

We recently received news that one of our largest federal grants has been unexpectedly cut—earlier than planned. While that’s a tough setback, our team is ready. We’ve already activated our sustainability plans to make sure the app, your points, and our statewide engagement remain uninterrupted.

But one part of HPHP will be changing:
The Rewards Store.

Since we began awarding Rewards in 2015, there has been no limit to how many free Rewards a user can earn (the only limitation has been that you can only earn each Reward 1 time). The upcoming change is that only the first 3 Rewards are completely free. Beyond that, you can continue earning points to use towards a discount on all other items in the Rewards store.

Here’s the Rewards Good News:

âś… Your next 3 Rewards are 100% FREE with your points.
No matter how many rewards you’ve earned before, everyone’s getting a fresh start. Consider it a thank-you gift from us to you!

✅ You can now earn “seconds” of items.
Many of you have asked to be able to earn seconds of certain Rewards, so NOW IS YOUR CHANCE!  (Go earn that second hammock!)

✅ Use points for discounts—or buy outright.
Don’t want to wait to earn more points? You’ll now be able to purchase items directly in the app.

Nothing will be taken away. Your existing points stay right where they are. We’re simply shifting how the store works to make sure HPHP can continue long into the future – while giving a little extra love to our current users.

đź’š You Make This Possible

We are endlessly inspired by our community of users—people just like you who prioritize wellness, explore the outdoors, and share our mission to get Tennesseans moving in nature.

We’re also working on a special token of appreciation for our longest-standing app users. (Stay tuned – it’s a good one.)

Whether you’re new to HPHP or have been with us since the start, thank you for being part of this movement. With your help, we’ll continue to make outdoor health accessible, free, and joyful for all.

🙏 Want to Support the Mission?

If you’ve ever supported HPHP in any way—thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

No matter what changes come, the HPHP mission stays the same:
To help you discover wellness in the wild.
See you outside!

Rewards Shipping Update

Some Changes are Coming to Rewards Shipping in 2024

Hello HPHP Community! Thank you for being here, whether you’re a long-time user or new to us. We appreciate everyone prioritizing their health and using our app to enjoy the outdoors in our beautiful (but currently scorching hot) state.

Our HPHP web app launched in 2015 and quickly outgrew its initial capabilities. If you’ve been with us since then, thank you! Our iOS and Android apps launched just in time for the pandemic in March 2020, reminding us all of the importance of spending time outdoors for our well-being. Since then, over 13,000 Tennesseans have downloaded HPHP, we’ve sent out over 5,200 FREE rewards, added new features to the app, and we’ve received countless heartwarming stories of park discoveries and renewed health and relationships.

HPHP began as a grassroots program by a single park ranger to highlight the benefits of nature. Today, we are a non-profit organization funded by a grant from the TN State Department of Health, allowing us to offer the app and Rewards for free, which is always the goal. As we approach the final year of our grant and plan for future sustainability, we will start charging a small shipping fee for Rewards starting in August, ranging from $4 to $7 based on size and weight. Bundling Rewards to save on shipping is an option—just email us and let us know. Our goal is to be good stewards of our funding and ensure all Tennesseans can continue to “Discover Wellness in the Wild.”

Thank you, and happy trails!  As always, we are here to answer your questions and we welcome your feedback.

Our Biggest App Update EVER!

This is something we have been working on for a looong time!  Our BIGGEST app update ever is LIVE!  This update incorporates many of the suggestions you have given us: Integrated weather/location, Streaks with the ability to earn weekly and monthly BONUS POINTS, and a Leaderboard that allows you to see who’s on top for the week, month, or year.  We are so excited, and we hope you are too!  This is just phase 1 of several fun and functional app additions we have planned for the future.

The updated app should automatically populate on your phone, but it is always a good idea to visit the app store and make sure you have the newest version downloaded.  You can also delete and re-install your app to ensure you are working with the latest and greatest.

And while you are in the app store… We would love for you to leave us a review!  This helps us to get recognition as we continue to work on bigger and better things for you!
