We are offering one more opportunity for 4-H members ages 8 and older to participate in county skill-a-thon contests!

Skill-a-Thon Contests Available:
Clothing and Textiles
Horticulture
Photography
Wildlife
Wood Science

Skill-A-Thons are designed to support the learning that is taking place in a project area. 4-H members learn to compare and become familiar with project equipment and terminology.  Skill-A-Thons teach critical thinking and decision-making skills. These skills are valuable to young people as well as adults as they must make decisions every day. Youth who excel in county contests may advance to compete at the Delaware State Fair.
Skill-A-Thon Study Guides are available on the Contests page of the DE 4-H website.  We encourage all project leaders and 4-H members to review the information related to the many contests offered, well in advance of the contest date.  In addition to the guides, training materials will be available from your county office and online.  Preparation for the contests is extremely important; learning, researching, and studying should take place over several weeks to several months.
As a reminder, to provide accommodations for youth participants, be sure to communicate any special needs to your county 4-H office 2 weeks prior to the scheduled event.
