4-H Discovery Days
Are you looking for a mini-college experience for your 13 – 18 year old youth? The Kansas State Research and Extension 4-H State Office offers this opportunity through the Discovery Days event. This year it will be held May 31 – June 3, 2016 in Manhattan on the K-State campus. This year’s theme is “Get a CLUE and Discover YOU!”
This will be the 92nd year for Discovery Days! Youth will have the opportunity to select classes and attend social functions. The variety of classes offered range from Chuck Wagon Cooking to Computing Unplugged. The primary purpose of 4-H Discovery Days is to gain new ideas and expand your 4-H experience. You experience this through action oriented learning activities, fun tours, and great evening social events. You will meet new people, build leadership skills and grow as a person!
