Outdoors Adventures Weekend registration is open! Youth must be age 8+ AND enrolled in a 4-H program in New York State (youth must have turned 8 in 2024, per 4-H regulations.)

This weekend promises a host of exciting activities, including snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, and outdoor games. Saturday afternoon features a variety of workshops, and the weekend culminates in an Olympic-style event on Sunday at 10:30 AM. Participants will stay in a cozy, woodstove-heated dormitory, while those seeking a bit more adventure can opt to sleep outside in the lean-to, provided they have the right gear and chaperones.

The fee to attend is $40 per youth. Chaperones are free. Youth need to provide their own chaperone!
