Young Naturalist 4-H Club Is on Target!

(Updated: Oct. 5, 2023, 12:58 p.m.)

The Young Naturalist 4-H Club has two primary focuses, wildlife and environmental education and teaching target shooting sports. A unique blend that works very well to make a great 4-H Club!

The skills and disciplines of safe shooting are used to assist young people and their leaders in attaining knowledge and developing essential life skills. We have seen time over time, that the target shooting program enhances family communications and quality time together and creates an environment for a caring relationship between a young person and a significant adult, whether this is a family member, another adult, or even a teen volunteer.

Young Naturalist 4-H Club members and shooting sports coaches represented Henderson County very well this past weekend at the 4-H State Shooting Sports Tournament hosted at Millstone 4-H Camp! We congratulate the competitors and the coaches who worked so hard to see the grow over this past year!
