4-H Explorers Club REPORT
In March, the club met to plan their year.
At the May meeting members hiked the “Holly Discovery Trail” at Lake James State Park,
Paddy’s Creek. The trail was an interactive trail which is great for both kids and adults. We also
spent some time on the Paddy’s Creek trail before the thunder sent us back to the van. We had a
great day exploring. We had 3 new members join and 1 member in training. Welcome to 4-H!
