Wisconsin 4-H and UW-Madison Division of Extension are excited to announce a new opportunity: the Summer Academy!
This program is open to 4-H members in grades 7-10 and will be held from June 19-22 on the UW-Madison campus. Students will experience life in a residence hall while building lifelong friendships with others from across Wisconsin.
The theme of the inaugural Summer Academy is “Exploring Your WHY,” with the goal of providing attendees the resources to discover pathways to their futures. There will be chances to learn about higher education from UW-Madison and Madison College, as well as career discovery and networking opportunities.
Students will be able to choose from 7 SPARK tracks to learn what it takes to have a career or hobby in a field that fits them the best. These tracks are:
- Arts & Communication
- Leadership & Civic Engagement
- Agriculture & Animal Science
- STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math)
- Human Services (Head, Heart, Hands and Health)
- Construction & Trades
- Hospitality Management & Culinary Science
During the event, there will also be fun activities and entertainment from the Wisconsin 4-H Leadership Council, the Wisconsin 4-H Drama Company, and more!
Registration opens in April, for more information, see the Wisconsin 4-H Summer Academy website.
