Winter Fun Day

With many ski hills being unable to open this year, we will be helping 4-H’ers host their own Winter Fun Day in 2021! The goal is plan an activity you can do outside and be physically active! ​

You can participate as an individual, family, project group or club – as long as you follow the public health orders! 

Make sure to take photos and send them in to the 4-H office! We would love to see your winter fun activity that gets you physically active! ​
Enter to win one of four prize packages valued at $100! 
What are some activity suggestions? 
Some suggestions for activities are: 
  • Go cross country skiing 
  • Go snowshoeing (you can rent shoeshoes at some sports stores)
  • Go sliding 
  • Build a snow fort
  • Build an ice sculpture or snowman. You could have a contest to see who in your club makes the best one! 
  • Go skating
  • Make a snow maze in your own backyard or a schoolyard using snowblocks! 
  • Make a bowling game to play out of snow. Just clear an alley and make pins and balls from snow! 
  • Play snow golf (bury cans in the snow for holes!) 
  • Play fox and goose. Make a track in the snow shaped like a wheel with spokes to the centre. The fox chases the goose - the middle where the spokes meet is safe! 
  • Have a snowball fight - make snowballs ahead of time and use your snowfort to hide in!

Vanscoy Multiple 4-H Club Province-wide mailmatch archery competition

Indoor Mailmatch is a Provincial Competition shot in the luxury of your own range!

Due to the distance between archery members in our province it can be difficult to attend a Province-Wide Archery Competition, but the desire to see where you stand against other 4-H’ers is still there.

Register for the Vanscoy Multiple 4-H Club Province-Wide Mailmatch Competition!

This allows for a province-wide competition without having to travel further than your local club. Each month an archer can submit one score and the average of the four scores shot throughout the designated time period will be used to determine your placing. 

Regional Record Book Competition

Don’t forget to send your book in for the Regional Record Book Competitions! 
Clubs are invited to submit two members’ record books from each age category to their regional competition and only one book from each member may be submitted. Books must be from the previous 4-H year and all competitors must have been a registered member in the 2019/20 4-H year. 

Books can be dropped off or mailed to your Regional 4-H Specialist. Please indicate if your book should be mailed back to you or if you will pick it up when submitting it. Deadline to submit record books is December 1, 2020. Late entries may not be accepted. 

​Any questions about the competition can be directed to your Regional 4-H Specialist!

Photography Contest

The 4-H Saskatchewan Photo Contest is back. Make sure that you take lots of pictures this year to enter in the contest! There are five photo categories:
  • Nature - Capture a naturally beautiful scene, whether it’s a Saskatchewan sunset, an ocean view, or a Prairie Lily in bloom - this is the category for your nature photos.
​
  • People - Do you like taking pictures of your friends or family? This is the category for you! It doesn’t need to be a formal portrait, as long as it captures a human moment.
​
  • Animals - Domestic or wild, it doesn’t matter! This is the category for all of those photos of your project animal, or that special shot of a wild bird or deer!
​
  • Action Shot - Photos of sports scenes, animals in motion, or a funny event about to happen are perfect for this category! 
 
  • STEM It -  ​This year, our 4-H theme is STEMming into the Beyond! In this photo category, show us your best photo to showcase STEM! (STEM means Science, Techology, Engineering and Math) 
All Saskatchewan 4-H members are eligible to enter (you do not have to be in the Photography project). Entries will be judged in three age categories:

1: Cloverbuds and Juniors (6 - 12 as of Dec. 31, 2019)
2: Intermediates and Seniors (13 - 21 as of Dec. 31, 2019)
3: Adult

​Entries will be judged based on lighting, composition, and creativity. Photos must be taken by the 4-H member between April 30, 2020 and April 30, 2021. ​Submit your photos electronically before April 30, 2021 to enter.
