Michigan State University’s campus was bustling with youth from all over Michigan including area 4-H youth, Nicholas Barnes, Evan Christoffersen, Lola Dyga, Lakhota Groenke, Wynter Groenke, and Trinity Tyndall as part of 4-H Exploration Days held June 21 – 23. The annual event is Michigan State University’s largest pre-college program, attended by youth and adult chaperones from across Michigan. The theme was All Paths Lead to 4-H! Youth selected from nearly 200 hands-on sessions and field trips in content areas such as animal and veterinary science, business and entrepreneurship, careers, environmental education, food and nutrition, fitness, international language and culture, money management, performing and visual arts, and science, engineering, and technology for this 3-day event. Keynote speaker, and renowned speaker, author, and DJ, Tanner Olson opened the event with his message about kindness and courage. Through his work at high school and university campuses and at international conferences, he reaches more than 50,000 students, educators, and parents across Canada and the United States every year. Juan is the founder of The 100 Day Playbook, a guided journal that helps young people build better habits, boost productivity, and optimize their lives. When not in sessions, participants had the opportunity to attend a concert by Gooding at the Wharton Center as well as visit the MSU Breslin Center, Abrams Planetarium, National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory, Eli & Edythe Broad Art Museum, 4-H Children’s Gardens, MSU Animal Teaching and Research Centers, and a variety of campus museums to name a few. 4-H Exploration Days is made possible through a grant from the Gerber Foundation and support from Newaygo 4-H Council.
