At Discovery Days, youth aged 6-12 years old explore the wide array of fun and interaction available in 4-H Ontario, through different activities and games.

This years theme is “Mighty 4-H, use your creative side to create a fun craft, explore how to work as a team, showcase your trivia smarts in our famous Go For The Gold game, make a delicious snack that you can then enjoy, and test your skills at Discovery Days Olympics! All of this in just one day!  

Along with all of this, you’ll get a pizza lunch, a T-shirt you can decorate and take home with you and you will meet new friends. Each year is a new experience! Try them all!

“Discovery Days was a perfect introduction to 4-H as it truly captured the essence of the program. From making crafts, to decorating their own shirt, participating in Go for The Gold, and dodging a marshmallow gun all day, they had tons of fun.”

– Participant’s Parent

We are looking for volunteers to help out at Discovery Days! If you are interested, please sign up using this link. If you have any questions, please contact Nicole at opportunities@4-hontario.ca
