Sauk County 4-H Visit to UW-Madison

Get ready for a day of discovery! Sauk County 4-H members are headed to the University of Wisconsin-Madison for a high-energy, hands-on immersion into the world of cutting-edge science. From the building blocks of life to the power of the atmosphere, our students are stepping out of the classroom and into the labs.

Calling All Builders: The LEGO Brick Building Challenge is Here!

It’s time to dig into your brick collection and let your creativity shine! We are excited to announce the first installment of our statewide LEGO Brick Build Challenge series, inviting participants, youth and adults, from across the state to showcase their skills.

This Month’s Topic: Build Your Spark

In 4-H, a "spark" is that special interest or passion that makes you come alive. Whether it’s science, art, animals, or sports, we want to see you represent your passion using nothing but bricks!

How to Enter: The challenge is open to both youth and adults. You can participate as an individual or as a team. To enter, visit https://go.wisc.edu/mxa8pj and submit your entry by the deadline.

Performance Arts!

4-H members, its time to on stage and share your talents!

2026 Summer Academy

Summer Academy is the Positive Youth Development Institute’s signature career, leadership, & college readiness conference hosted at UW-Madison. The event focuses on preparing young people (grades 8-11) for higher education in a way that complements formal education prep programs. Summer Academy offers an immersive college experience; participants will experience life in a residence hall, explore campus, and enjoy the unique elements of higher ed that only Madison can offer.

This year’s theme is The Quest; Summer Academy participants will answer the call to adventure across the UW-Madison campus and explore their next steps in their career and college readiness journey! They will choose between exploratory tracks that introduce them to a variety of different Sparks and activities, core tracks that allow them to explore an area of interest in-depth, or an Advanced Art Track where youth will focus deeply on a specific area of arts.
