Beyond offering independently run camps and projects, Fairfield 4-H partners with community organizations to plan and implement activities for students. Check out 4-H’s summer collaborations:
The Fairfield County Library’s summer reading program theme was We’re All in This Together, celebrating connection and comradery. Miss Stephanie co-hosted two programs within this premise, exploring the countries of Japan and France (voted by visitors to the world tasting booth at the Library Summer Kick-Off). Students made themed crafts like origami bookmarks and sampled local cuisine to discover how these countries were both similar and unique as compared to their own community.
4-H also visited the Chameleon Inspirations Learning Center’s summer school. Students combined science and art by designing catapults, playing electronic music with Snap Circuits, and more. By encouraging students to make mistakes and get messy, they practiced problem-solving and persistence. Sometimes kids need a space where they can tinker!
