I wish I was organized enough to put in one place allllll the classes my kids have gotten to do at Maine 4-H Days over the years. It's been MANY. Many good ones too, as evidenced by my kids remembering and mentioning things they've learned over the years.
Here's a glimpse:
Their fave part is the freedom to get to their classes via bikes and scooters. My big kids are so independent that I hardly see them during the day.

Audra's classes: Paint a barn quilt, Training search and rescue dogs (which she did with real dogs), showing horses (which she got to do) and Wildlife science.
I taught papermaking.

Adrian did tractor safety, worked in the sawmill and in the forge with the blacksmith, did horse carting and did a session called 'Claim your Future', which was sort of like an adulting game for teens.
Anna-Kate got to do Needle felting, engineering, historical exploration and she also painted a barn quilt.
I taught papermaking.

Plus there's always a service activity. We filled bags with toiletries for shelters.
There's no exhaustion like the end of a full 4-H day. We (again) were the only reps from York County. There's no where you can get fun like this for $40 per family. We'd love to bring lots of friends next year!
