Art Beat 2025
Who’s Got the Beat!
As we settle into the rhythms of winter, it is a perfect time to think about art and our next major 4-H State Arts activity, Art Beat! Actually, when isn’t a good time to think about art? Art Beat is for any 4-H member in grades 3-5 and will be held at Upham Woods March 15-16. You can register through 4HOnline. Applications will be open January 20-February 17 or until the camp fills.
What is it?
Art Beat is a 4-H, hands-on, interactive art experience in beautiful Upham Woods in the Wisconsin Dells. Participants will learn to juggle, make visual arts, create a STEAM project, explore music, and much, much more. Art Beat is led by older 4-H youth and professional artists in a variety of disciplines from painting, theater, textiles, and music. 4-Hers will also get to experience an overnight camp adventure. The goal of Art Beat is to help young people to explore their artistic sparks.

Winter Leadership CampSeven Fond du Lac County youth leaders were part of 40 youth from eight different counties attending Winter Leadership camp. Over the course of the weekend Extension, educators facilitated Leadership Summit - Hike your Leadership Trail from Nebraska Extension. Friday night youth arrived at Camp Spencer Lake in Waupaca. After checking in, the youth had the opportunity to make connections with peers before diving into the Hike Your Leadership Trail content. A personality quiz helped each youth identify skills, likes, and traits they possess and how those traits determine their leadership styles. Many of the youth enjoyed team building skills such as tower building, team tightrope, LEGO Brick building challenge, and more. Youth had the opportunity to try out different projects when they rotated through the Sparks Stations that included things such as pipe cleaner flowers, paper circuits, fleece hand warmers, animal bead pets, among other activities. Sunday wrapped up with reflecting on the weekend and youth writing a letter to their future selves. Many youth were excited to bring their new skills home to their respective counties.
