Ohio 4-H Highlights: July 2026

  1. From Licking County to Tokyo: 4-H Projects Spark Global Learning

    Written by Bryn Bird, Licking County 4-H Alumna

    When sisters Emlyn and Paige Walsh of Kids and Kritters 4-H Club packed their belongings and moved from Licking County, Ohio, to Tokyo, Japan, this spring, one tradition came with them: 4-H.

  2. Experience Ohio 4-H at the 2026 Ohio State Fair—July 29 to August 9

    The Ohio State Fair returns Wednesday, July 29, through Sunday, August 9, inviting fairgoers to experience the many ways Ohio 4‑H is showcased throughout the fair. Fairgoers are invited to visit the Lausche Youth Exploration Space, where they can connect with members of the Ohio 4‑H Teen Leadership Council and the Ohio 4‑H Foundation Board, watch daily 4‑H project judging, and celebrate the hard work of Ohio 4‑H members. 

  3. Finding Your Spark at Ohio 4-H Spark EXPO

    For many young people, discovering a future career path begins with trying something new. That is exactly what Ohio 4-H Spark EXPO is designed to do. 

  4. Hands-On Learning, Lasting Impact: Ohio 4-H STEM Camp

    Ohio 4-H STEM Camp is a residential, overnight summer camping experience designed for youth in grades 5–7. While campers enjoy many traditional camp activities such as archery, hiking, fishing, crafts, and outdoor recreation, what sets STEM Camp apart is the intentional integration of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics into the camp experience. Through hands-on activities, interactive challenges, and real-world applications, campers discover how STEM concepts connect to everyday life and future career opportunities.
