Winter Project Days

The 4-H motto, 'Learn by doing,' encourages youth to pursue hands-on learning opportunities to develop new skills that last a lifetime. Lake County MSU Extension facilitates various opportunities for youth to achieve this motto, including the annual Winter Projects Day event. This event provides workshop experiences for youth to engage in as they connect with their peers and develop new skill sets. Despite a winter storm warning, 35 4-H youth gathered at the Ronan Community Center in February this past year for this event. The 4-H members engaged in workshops ranging from leathercraft and cake decorating to woodworking and pillow making. This event was made possible by 21 adult and teen leaders who volunteered their time and expertise. Events like this help cultivate the caring community that 4-H is known for and provide a safe and engaging opportunity for our youth to grow.
