How to Join

Registration, Participation & Earning Your Seasonal Sticker! 

Ready to explore the outdoors and earn fun rewards while boosting your health and wellness? Here’s how to get started and make the most of your Nature Navigators adventure!

 

Step 1: Register Online 

All youth participants must register through 4-H Z-Suite to join the Nature Navigators: Wellness in the Wild program. The launch of each season’s program will be announced to county Extension offices and through Oklahoma 4-H social media. Once registered, you’ll receive the seasonal lesson by email. There are four lessons per year — one for each season — and you can complete them anytime during that season. 

 

Step 2: Choose Your Adventure 

Each lesson includes a variety of fun and meaningful activities, like: 

  • Take a Hike or Outdoor Challenge 
  • Educational Exploration 
  • Nature Craft 
  • Healthy Recipe 
  • Mindful Minute 
  • Nature Journaling or Reflection 

You can do the activities on your own, with your family or with your 4-H club.
Complete the whole lesson in one day (like a mini day camp) or spread it out weekly or monthly — it’s flexible! 

 

Step 3: Complete at Least Three Activities 

To earn your seasonal Nature Navigators badge sticker, you must complete at least three of the lesson sections for the season that we are currently in, take a photo of yourself completing one of the activities and answer these three reflection questions:

  • I liked … 
  • I wish … 
  • I wonder … 

 

Step 4: Submit Your Participation Electronically 

Submit your photo and answers to the three questions in your ZSuite registration.

Please include: 

  • Your first and last name
  • Your mailing address
  • Your county

 

Step 5: Earn Your Sticker! 

  • At the end of each season, participants who have: 
  • Registered through Z-Suite
  • Completed at least three activities
  • Submitted a photo
  • Answered the “I like, I wish, I wonder” questions 

… will receive an exclusive 4-H Nature Navigators: Wellness in the Wild sticker badge for each season completed! 

 

Stick it on your: 

  • Favorite water bottle
  • Hiking notebook
  • Nature journal
  • Laptop
  • Bike helmet
  • Or anywhere that shows your love for the outdoors!

 

Stay curious, stay active and enjoy your wild wellness adventure — one season at a time!
