Carving New Ideas is a camping opportunity for older youth, concentrating on the principles of critical thinking and program facilitation. This is a great opportunity for 4-H youth in grades 8-12.
It is hosted by Collegiate 4-H at The Ohio State University and the college students, who are also 4-H alumni, are preparing all of the fun activities for the weekend of October 29-31.

Thanks to a grant from the Ohio 4-H Foundation, we are able to offer “Experience 4-H at Home” kits. Throughout 2021, we will offer 4 different kits, based on each of the H’s in 4-H. The next, and final, kit will be all about the 4th H- HEALTH
The kits are geared toward Cloverbud age.
The kits will include the activities to complete and the majority of the supplies needed.
Space is limited.
I will send an email confirmation once we reach our capacity. When kits are ready for pickup, I ask that they are picked up within 2 weeks. Otherwise, we will open to the waitlist.
Thank you!

Do you know any youth that are interested in taking over the family farm, starting their own farm, or owning their own business in the agriscience industry? Please pass on the attached flyer to anyone that is interested in attending the Agricultural Entrepreneurship Camp on the weekend of September 24-26. Open to all youth that are in high school. Registration is now open and can be found here: http://go.osu.edu/exploreagcamp. This camp is a partnership between Explore Ag, Lucas County Extension, Franklin County Extension, Hocking College, Grow NextGen, Venture Lab, and Young Entrepreneur Institute.
During this one-of-a-kind weekend camp, students will participate in hands-on activities to explore careers and entrepreneurship in agriculture. In addition to inspiring an entrepreneurship
mindset, campers will learn about creating a business. Campers will also hear from Hocking College professors with topics ranging from timber harvesting to fishery management!
We need some help.
We will be making a calendar for all families for 2022. We want to include pictures of a variety of 4-H events. Please upload pictures below. We would like pictures of camp, fair, pre-fair judging, weigh-ins/tag-ins, clinics, club meetings, community service events, recreation events, club group pictures, etc. We will try to use as many as we can in this calendar.
We have space for 5 uploads of pictures. If you have more to share, please complete this survey as many times as needed.
Thank you for your help and assistance!
We are very excited to let you all know that we are starting a Greene County 4-H Teen Leadership Council. If you are at least 13 years old, please consider applying.
We will meet monthly at the Extension Office. A schedule will be provided to all members.
A goal of this group is to provide additional leadership opportunities for teens.
Please let us know if you have any questions.
Applications are due by Friday, August 27.
As we approach the end of the fair, please take the time to write thank-you notes.
Your awards (trophies, ribbons, plaques, plates, etc.) all need a thank you written. Also, please think about writing thank you notes to your club advisors, species committee members who helped throughout the week, Senior Fairboard Members, Junior Fairboard, parents, Sales Committee, and anyone else who has helped throughout your 4-H experience.
For the Greene County Senior Fairboard, Junior Fairboard, and Sales Committee, please address 120 Fairground Road, Xenia, OH 45385.
It takes so many individuals to put on a great fair and we are lucky to be able to work with them all. Now, we need your help to show your appreciation.
Lastly, please write your thank you notes in a timely manner. If you need an address, please let us know and we can find it for you.
Thank you!
