Kansas 4-H Discovery Days 2023
Are You Ready for the 100th Anniversary of Discovery Days (formerly known as Round Up)? Put June 7-9, 2023 on your calendar to be in Manhattan on the K-State campus.
Discovery Days is one of the largest events that is put on by the Kansas 4-H program and it would not be able to happen without the help and time that you put into it! This year Discovery Days will be held June 7-9, 2023 with classes being held on June 7th and 8th. We are currently soliciting volunteers to teach classes while they are at Discovery Days. We offer class sessions that are 75 minutes in length or 3 hours in length. Many of our instructors find their time rewarding and enjoy interacting with the delegates that attend Discovery Days.
If you are interested in teaching a class, please sign up by clicking here. Feel free to share this information with youth and volunteers in your Local Extension Units who you think would be interested in teaching as well. The deadline to sign up to teach a class at Discovery Days is February 1.
Objectives for Discovery Days:
- Help youth learn new ideas, techniques, and skills they can use personally and in their 4-H clubs or groups and communities
- Give youth in-depth training through hands-on educational sessions from content and youth development experts
- Prepare youth to make informed decisions about their careers and college path
- Enhance personal growth by giving opportunities to develop responsibility, confidence, independence, accountability, problem-solving, decision-making, and time management skills
- Help youth meet new people and make new friends from different places and with different backgrounds from across the state
- Provide an opportunity for youth to experience the K-State campus and its wealth of resources
- Develop college and career readiness skills which prepare participants academically and socially for a successful transition to college and life as an adult
