Hello 4-H members!
Here is a fun experiment to try at home. Using just a cardboard box and a sprouting potato, you'll see the obstacles that plants overcome to find light. The directions for this fun experiment are here:

Leadership
From Kitsap County 4-H: Kitsap County 4-H is excited to be offering a new opportunity to youth in our community. Due to COVID we are not able to meet in person at this time so we have decided to offer 8 week experiences.
Experience 4-H is a monthly 40 minute introduction to 4-H programs and projects, offered to interested youth and families without obligation. Curriculum and instructors from many 4-H sources will be used. One or two sessions will be offered per month; topics will vary. This is a great way to try something new! Whether you are new to 4-H or a longtime member, you are invited to join Washington 4-H and find your spark! FREE Zoom classes are open to ages 6 – 18, unless otherwise specified. Parents must attend with youth under the age of 9. Please pre-register. After registering, you will receive an email confirmation and class supply list.

Hello 4-H Community,
The impact of Covid-19 continues to create uncertainty and concern.
Washington State University is still adhering to a no in person 4-H model. WSU and Kitsap County 4-H are determining the next steps for 4-H clubs for the 2020/2021 year. As soon as Bainbridge Island 4-H learns more, we'll keep you posted.
Hello to our current (and interested) Bainbridge Island 4-H families,
Whether you are sewing masks, cooking in the kitchen, working in
your garden and feeding chickens, taking your dog on walks or
photographing your surroundings, we hope you're practicing the
four H's and engaging your head, your heart, your hands, and your
health this summer.
Washington State 4-H Youth Development stopped all activities in March and our club has not held project meetings since then. Both the Kitsap County Fair and Washington State Fair were cancelled for the summer. As stated by Washington State 4-H, "Washington 4-H Youth Development Program is not meeting face-to-face until your county reaches Phase 4. When we are in Phase 4, some social distancing and other requirements will need to be followed for in-person activities."
Bainbridge Island 4-H has no meetings scheduled at this time. We
will keep members apprised as we receive updates from Kitsap
County 4-H and Washington State 4-H. If you are interested in
joining Bainbridge Island 4-H in the future, please email your
contact information and we will keep you informed of a meeting.
Thank you,
Bainbridge Island 4-H
Newsletter: In case you didn't sign up to

includes information on how to participate in the virtual still
life exhibits.
