Welcome, Makayla!

Hello 4-H members, leaders, and volunteers!

My name is Makayla Stommel and I am the new 4-H summer intern at the extension office. I’m super excited to be working here!

Throughout the summer I will be planning fun activities like Art Camp, Cloverbud Day Camp, Cardboard Camp, and more! I’m really excited to be working with youth and getting to know them.

This is a great opportunity for me as I will be attending UW-Madison in the fall and majoring in elementary education. I’m super excited to be here and I can’t wait to meet everyone!

Description:
Monday, August 8 Art-Rageous - Calling all youth artists! From clay to oil pastels and everything in between, youth will explore art by channeling their creativity while learning about different artists, techniques, and media.
Tuesday, August 9 Picturesque Painting - Youth will explore all things paint on this day.  Activities will include watercolor, paint pouring, and acrylic painting. Bring your paint clothes and creative minds, and we will supply the rest!
Wednesday, August 10 Phenomenal Photography - Learn about how to use your camera and what settings and features to use for certain settings and situations. Youth will also learn about selecting photos, mounting, and other tips and tricks. Youth will practice taking pictures this day. (Recommendation: youth bring their own cameras if possible).
If we have more volunteers to help with Day Camp, we can open it up to more youth! If you are interested in helping, please contact Tracy or call 920-929-3171.
