What is Rec Lab? It sounds like a funny name for a 4-H event.
Rec Lab stands for Recreation Lab and means that everything is hands-on and fun!
This event is a 4-H member favorite: It provides an opportunity for youth and adults to enhance their leadership, communication, and team building skills in an action-packed and interactive setting.
Rec Lab programming provides participants with tips and tricks for being a better club, camp, and community leader.
This event is ideal for younger senior members to attend as a first-time state event. It allows them to form relationships with 4-H peers from across the state, broaden their skills, and widen their network.
Youth participants must be 13+ as of October 1.
Adult chaperones must be as least 21 years of age.
Extension Staff and volunteers: The idea of sleeping on an air mattress in a school gym may not be your idea of a fun weekend, but this is a great event for you too! The program is condusive to meeting people from around the state and exchanging ideas. You are sure to gain some great info and bring home motivated youth leaders.

Future Rec Lab Locations
This event provides youth and volunteers an opportunity to travel and experience locations that may be very different from their home county by rotating around the state and being hosted by a different 4-H district each year. The camp-like atmosphere and hands-on activities allow for a fun and laid-back weekend to create lasting memories.
