This event, a beloved tradition for 4-H members and the wider community, promises a weekend of hands-on learning, outdoor adventures and family-friendly fun.

4-H June Jamboree is designed to engage youth ages 5-18 in a variety of educational activities and workshops. Participants will have the opportunity to explore interests in agriculture, animal science, environmental stewardship, and more. Highlights of the event include: STEM workshops with interactive projects; outdoor wellness activities such as archery, camping and nature exploration; arts and crafts projects; and games and challenges designed to foster teamwork and leadership skills.

More than an educational experience, the event is a celebration of the 4-H community, providing a venue for youth to explore their passions, develop new skills and make lifelong friends.
