The 4-H OWLS program aims to provide youth opportunities to strengthen their outdoor, wilderness, and life skills. Through monthly webinars, quarterly campouts, and a final capstone experience, participants are exposed to a wide range of outdoor and natural resource-based skills and topics. Since 2021, participants have learned about fishing, trapping, camping, outdoor cooking, orienteering, water resources, macroinvertebrates, backpacking, and more.
As an OWLS participant, youth are expected to:
- Attend a monthly webinar on a natural resource topic
- Participate in at least 2 of the 3 campouts
- Join in the summer capstone adventure to test their newfound skills
OWLS is open to registered 4-H members ages 14-18. The OWLS program is not currently accepting applications.
