Do you know a teen who isn’t sure if college is for them? Maybe a teen who isn’t exactly college-bound but who could benefit from experiencing something beyond Wexford County? 4-H Exploration Days might be just what they need! Please share this opportunity with teens you work with.  

Join 1,000 youth from across Michigan on MSU’s campus to explore YOUR future! Live like a college student and learn about future careers at 4-H Exploration Days. This three-day pre-college program is designed to help you explore careers, build skills and envision your future. Choose from more than 100 fun learning sessions on a variety of topics that are led by MSU faculty, 4-H staff and volunteers, and other experts! You’ll stay in and eat at MSU residence halls, attend sessions in buildings throughout campus, and of course have fun at free-time activities across the university!

Five great reasons to attend!

  1. Meet new people and make new friends from different places and backgrounds. You will build relationships and make connections that will last a lifetime!
  2. Develop and expand career and personal interests through fun, engaging learning sessions YOU choose. You can try things that aren’t available in your county or community.
  3. Live like an MSU student – stay and eat in the residence halls and attend your sessions in real lecture halls and campus facilities while enjoying the campus atmosphere and activities it has to offer!
  4. Develop social and academic skills you’ll need for a successful transition to college and life as an adult. Increase your responsibility, confidence, independence, accountability, problem-solving, decision-making and time-management skills.
  5. Have fun! Enjoy a wide range of free-time activities with friends old and new, including a dance!
