Summer opportunities with W.S. 4-H
by Bethann Beamer
OSU Extension
Summer can be a time when
children and youth actually lose
valuable learning and growth.
There are numerous opportunities
locally for continuing cultural learn-
ing.
For youth interested in oppor-
tunities for personal growth and
leadership development in a setting
outside of the community, Oregon
State University Extension, as well
as out-of-State schools, offer sev-
eral options.
The 4-H Summer Conference
will take place in Corvallis June 24-
27. This ‘camp’ is geared for youth
in grades 7-12, and will offer a huge
variety of classes, activities, and
community service opportunities in
a university setting.
Participants stay in the dorms
and eat in the dining hall. Registra-
tion is open now through June 1.
Cost for the conference is $200.
Some scholarships may be available.
Registration is currently open on the
OSU 4-H webpage.
Youth in Agriculture
Registration is still open for the
Native Youth in Agriculture Sum-
mer Leadership Summit at the Uni-
versity of Arkansas, July 19-28.
This conference is focused on
tribal youth ages 13 through college-
age, but will close June 1.
At least one local youth has al-
ready been accepted. As noted pre-
viously, the conference and room
and board are at no-cost, but travel
is an issue.
If this conference interests you
at all, please apply online as soon as
possible, as travel scholarships are
very limited. The website is:
