4-H Summer Intern

Hello 4-H members, leaders, and volunteers!
My name is Makayla Stommel, and I am the 4-H summer intern at the extension office! I am a previous 12 year Fond du Lac County 4-H member, and I was very involved in the Teen Leaders Association and active in my club. My favorite projects were Arts & Crafts and Food & Nutrition. I am going into my sophomore year at UW-Madison where I am majoring in Elementary Education. Outside of my 4-H and school life, I enjoy playing soccer, shopping, and hanging out with family and friends. Events I am working on this summer include  Art Camp, LEGO Camp, and Cardboard Camp, promotional events, fair, and more!  I’m excited to be working with youth and adults this summer and gaining experience in my communication and leadership skills. I’m glad to be back, and I’m ready for a great summer!
