The 4-H Outdoor Adventures program is aimed at reaching out to potential young explorers on Tinian to participate in various outdoor adventure activities relating to understanding, appreciating, and preserving wildlife and conservation within our island to promote sustainability of our natural resources within Tinian and the CNMI. The program reaches out to all public and private schools within the island for an opportunity to promote natural curiosity and wild-life focused inquiry skills. Activities may take place during school hours, after-school, weekends, and summer.
