July 29th – Spooner, WI – culture, connection, fun for 6th graders & older
Cost is $50 per Youth Register @ tinyurl.com/OlderYouthExpedition2026
We’ve teamed up with Lincoln County to offer a unique experience for older youth (6th grade & older)! We are working to bring you a brand-new adventure of: The Northwoods Are Calling – Older Youth Expedition! We want you to come along!
This one-day travel experience on Wednesday, July 29th is all about exploring the culture of Spooner, connecting with other 4-Hers, and having loads of fun. The final schedule is in progress and will most likely include: a train ride on the Wisconsin Great Northern Railroad which includes a pizza lunch, a tour of the Governor Tommy G. Thompson State Fish Hatchery, time to chill and explore downtown Spooner, mini golf and arcade games, dinner, and so much time to connect with 4-H teens from nearby counties. It’ll be busy, but you’ll get two meals, a full day of fun, and tons of memories all for just $50. If cost is a concern, please talk to one of us or your county educator and we’ll figure something out.
This travel experience is open to 4-H members who just finished 6th – 13th grades; be sure to register now at tinyurl.com/OutdoorExpedition2026 to secure your spot before July 17th. We are looking forward to getting to know some cool teens in the area!
