Iron County 4-H is excited to offer another round of project meetings to all enrolled Iron County 4-H youth participants, first up is our woodworking project!
Everybody has a skill, a talent, an interest, or a special quality that they are passionate about. We call these things SPARKS. They provide joy, purpose, and direction. These specialized meetings will help youth explore topics or SPARKS they are interested in, with experienced Leaders who are exited to share their expertise.
Project meetings are open to enrolled Iron County 4-H members who participate in the following charted clubs: Penokee Range Livestock Club, Iron County Green Team, Adventurers of the North 4-H Club. If your child isn’t currently enrolled in 4-H but would like to learn more about joining, visit our Join Iron County 4-H page for more information or feel free to contact 4-H Youth Development Educator, Neil Klemme at neil.klemme@wisc.edu or call 715-561-2695.
Woodworking Project Meetings at Saint Mauds
When: New students age 5 and up will meet Wednesdays at 5:30 pm (start date, 9/25/24)
Returning students will meet on Saturdays at noon (start date, 9/8/24)
Where: Saint Mauds
Registration limit: Wednesday (6 participants ages 5 and up), Saturday (6 participants, grades 6-12)
Description: During each session, youth participants will use their hands, tools and materials to complete a model that is suited to their skill level. As students start and finish models, they will progress to making more complicated projects that will continue their development of both skills and character.
New students will be following the Slöyd curriculum (an educational model from Scandinavia that utilizes hand tools and a set of models that teach the foundational skills of woodworking). Please be sure to add the “Woodworking” project to your 4HOnline member profile. Members in grades K-2 will add “Cloverbuds.”
Returning students will be working on more advanced Slöyd models as well as a few public service projects. Returning students will also have the opportunity for a long-form project of their own design that can be worked on through-out the entire year. Please be sure to add the “Woodworking” project to your 4HOnline member profile.
If you can’t access the Google registration form, feel free to call Extension Iron County Office Manager, Rebecca Holm at 715-561-2695 to complete registration over the phone.
