Cabins averaged approximately 10 campers each, with the largest cabin housing 14 youth who may become future Counselors-in-Training.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Camp also resulted in several new volunteer prospects and increased interest in joining local 4-H clubs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Tech Change Makers has been accepted to present at the Penn State Teen Leadership Conference during the Passion Sparks Opportunity program. Members will present the Dementia Friends program on February 6 to youth ages 13\u201318.

Members also assisted with setup of the dog barn at the Grays Harbor County Fairgrounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Natalie shared highlights from the conference, including tours of the veterinary school and dairy facilities. She noted that many workshops were lecture-based but enjoyed presenting the Dementia Friends workshop alongside four other Tech Change Makers members.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Falyn encouraged greater youth involvement in leading workshops at future conferences and noted opportunities to continue improving the conference experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Jamie recommended increasing opportunities for teens to facilitate sessions during the Washington State 4-H Teen Conference and plans to share ideas used at the Penn State conference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Owen reported that one Steamboat Island family attended the Clover Kids event and participated in painting and craft activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The next Clover Kids session is planned for October 13 prior to the annual Club Kick-Off event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Still Life cleanup begins July 22, with exhibit setup and judging beginning Sunday, July 26.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Falyn will represent Mason County 4-H at the August YMCA Community Days event.
