Build, Bake & Beyond is a fun, hands-on (2nd Monday, monthly) 4-H workshop where youth ages 8–18 can explore new skills, get creative, and take home what they make! Each session features a different theme — from crafting and cooking to building and designing — all while learning teamwork, confidence, and creativity.
