Announcing the 4-H Outdoor Challenge, happening November 13th -15th, 2026! Coinciding with National Hiking Day, the 4-H Outdoor Challenge encourages 4-H families to dedicate the weekend to exploring the outdoors. 4-H’ers and their families will register and “pledge” outdoor hours for the weekend of 11/13-15/2026. Traditional outdoor activities, such as hiking and camping, are encouraged, but all activities happening outside count! The 4-H Outdoor Challenge is designed as an independent activity for families to encourage time spent outdoors. If you are taking advantage of the upcoming deer-hunting season, that would be a great way to log hours for this event!

This is a multi-State event with youth and families participating across the Nation!

If your family would like to participate, please register!

Because 4 H is all about learning by doing, whether that's growing something, building something, trying something new... or carving the perfect pumpkin.

Here's to helping more young people get their hands on experiences that help them learn, grow, discover what they can do, and become Beyond Ready for whatever comes next.

Happy carving! 🎃
