4-Hers have online options during this stay-at-home period

During this time, face to face 4-H opportunities are not allowed so 4-H is making great opportunities virtually for 4-H members to do while at home.

If you would like any of these links, please visit the Milam County 4-H website or the Facebook page for the links.

Virtual Photo Challenge

Put your photography skills to the test.

Review the challenge topic for the day and then take your best photos with whatever camera you have available.

Keep it simple. Interpret the topic however you like or research that type of photography online for ideas.

If you like (and with a parent’s permission) post your photos on the Texas 4-H Photography Project Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/TX4Hphotography/ and the Milam County 4-H Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/milamcountyfourH/.

Instructions and guidelines are outlined on the Facebook page.
