Risk Management
Outdoor recreation experiences such as paddling, backpacking and camping can be fun, educational and rewarding projects for 4-H youth. Through these experiences, youth build life skills such as cooperation, problem-solving and leadership. It also provides youth an opportunity to learn about and engage with their environment.
It’s important that 4-H volunteers and staff carefully plan and prepare for these experiences ahead of time to ensure that all safety precautions are taken and 4-H policies are followed. The following resources are designed to help guide you through planning a 4-H outdoor recreation experience. 4-H volunteers should work closely with their county 4-H program coordinator when planning to take youth outdoors and consult with the 4-H outdoor education and risk management educators as needed.
