Geocache Description:


Title: The Best Kept Secret!

Kettunen Center is Michigan 4-H Foundation’s best kept secret! The center was named after A.G. Kettunen Center for his 20 plus years of serving as the State Director of Michigan 4-H Youth Development Program. Kettunen Center is a full-service conference center owned and operated by the Michigan 4-H Foundation. Kettunen Center is the state leadership training site for 4-H teen and adult leaders. The Michigan 4-H Foundation solicits grants and donations to support 4-H programs. The 4-H’s represent the head, heart, hands and health of a child development. Local and state-wide 4-H programs require the support of adult volunteer mentors to provide guidance for a child’s physical, emotional, experience-based development and life-long learning.
