| Each year, Michigan State University (MSU) offers a program called "Exploration Days" to 4-H youth ages 11-19. The program is held in June on Michigan State's East Lansing Campus. Members stay in the college dorms from Wednesday to Friday. |

| At Exploration Days, regional State award nominees gather to finalize the selection of State 4-H Award winners. Each nominee meets with an interview panel on Wednesday afternoon. Then, on Thursday morning, they meet to rehearse the awards ceremony. On Thursday evening, nominees dress formally for a reception and state awards ceremony at the Wharton Center. |
