Outdoor Recreation | 4-H Project Resources & Curriculum
Outdoor Recreation Learning Objective: There are many physical and mental wellness benefits of outdoor activities, but STEM is also a key component that is essential to participation in outdoor recreation projects. The main objectives for outdoor recreation projects are for youth to enhance their critical thinking skills and self-confidence through exploring and enjoying nature. Utilizing technology such as a compass or geospatial mapping will also further develop mathematical skills. Youth must also demonstrate an understanding of outdoor safety, emergency preparation, and first aid. Youth will become stewards of the environment through gaining an understanding of effective range management, wildlife, and fisheries.
