Activities

Project Nights

4-H Project Nights are designed to provide opportunities for 4-H youth to explore their “sparks” (the interests that bring them joy, energy, and purpose). They are held multiple times each fall and spring. Sessions are available for K-13th grade, and parent involvement and engagement are encouraged!

During Project Nights, several sessions with a variety of topics happen concurrently during two sessions, and youth choose where to participate. Previous Project Nights have included: ceramics, jewelry, photography, puppet making, pinewood derby, leathermaking, electricity, food & nutrition, model rocketry, STEAM, woodworking, quilting, and more!

Contact Sara at (262) 548-7774 or stomjanovich@wisc.edu. with any questions about Project Nights.

We are always seeking NEW project leaders, community partners, co-collaborators, or Jr. Project Leaders to get involved and lead new sessions. If you are interested in leading an activity or project at a Waukesha County 4-H Project Night, contact James Boling at james.boling@wisc.edu.

4-H Performing Arts Day

The 4-H Performing Arts Day is an annual spring event which provides youth with a platform to showcase their talents, practice public speaking, and build confidence through skits, plays, musicals, and project demonstrations. Participants perform individually or in groups and receive constructive feedback from judges.

4-H Youth Bowling Event

Each spring, Waukesha County 4-H youth participate in an afternoon of fun and bowling. This event is offered by the Waukesha County 4-H Leaders Association Promotions & Activities Committee.

4-H Summer Camp

At Waukesha County 4-H Summer Camp, youth build these important skills through a wide variety of hands-on activities, including archery, canoeing, rock climbing, swimming, team building, educational crafts, evening campfires, songs, skits, and more, including special themed programs to complete the experience. Camp also provides leadership opportunities for older youth who, along with 4-H adult volunteers, plan and organize camp activities. Summer Camp offers an overnight experience for campers 9+ and day camp for campers 5+. Camp dates and locations vary from year to year.
