Purpose
The Young Explorers 4-H Club is a free co-op style 4-H club for Bennington-area youth ages 6-12. Members discover new things and make friends. Our purpose is to use the principles and resources of 4-H to build members' strengths, exhibit growth, and have fun! The club welcomes new members.
Project Areas
Agriculture
Farm visits, gardening, and chicken raising are among the fun farm-related projects Young Explorers have done.
Arts & Crafts
Young Explorers love to get together to make things, including holiday ornaments and toy cars!
Baking
Let's get baking! Young Explorers ambitiously made apple pie from scratch during the 2022-2023 4-H year!
Outdoor Adventure
Our favorite things to do involve getting outside. We have hiked several local trails and look forward to doing more!
Science & Technology
We have learned how electricity flows through circuits by building them ourselves.
And more!
We learned about first aid from the Pownal Rescue Squad and volunteered for Vermont's Green Up Day.
"We have been having a great time and are looking forward to learning more! "

4-Hers choose to exhibit their independent or group projects during Regional Day or State Fair.
