Youth Winter Workshops Offer Crafty Make-&-Take Activities

Open to youth ages five (5) and above, the annual Winter Workshops of Cornell Cooperative Extension Sullivan County (CCESC)’s 4-H Youth Development program is an opportunity for families to get crafty before the holiday season. On Saturday, December 6, 2014, participants can enjoy 10 stations of make-and-take activities including a community service project. This program will take place from 1:00 to 3:00 pm at the CCESC Gerald J. Skoda Extension Education Center on 64 Ferndale-Loomis Road in Liberty. The snow date for this program is Sunday, December 7.

4-H Winter Workshops gives youth the opportunity to make great gifts for family and friends! CCESC volunteers will instruct on using simple techniques for working with paper, textiles, recycled materials, and more to craft items reflecting the season.

The public can participate in the afternoon of workshops for $10.00 per youth or only $5.00 with enrollment in the 4-H Youth Development program (5 – 19 years of age). There is no cost to join CCESC 4-H in Sullivan County.

Space and supplies are limited! Registration and more information can be obtained by contacting Marylin Jones, 4-H Community Educator, by calling 845-292-6180 or e-mailing [email protected].

4-H empowers youth to reach their full potential, working and learning in partnership with caring adults. 4-H Members have opportunities to connect to Cornell University, learn through hands-on activities, lead, be inspired, inspire others, and “Make the Best Better”. Anyone can join 4-H with thousands of other New York State members, volunteers, staff, and funders.
