PROGRAM DETAILS

(If space allows, we will open registration to Intro Club alumni on July 15th.)

What is a 4-H Intro Club: During a 4-H Intro Club you experience the power of hands-on learning with our “Learn to Do By Doing” program and get a “Taste of 4-H”! Over four days, youth aged 9-15 will explore a variety of 4-H projects at different locations, including:​ All Aboard! Behind the Scenes with Calgary Transit: experience a side of transit most people never get to see, Discovering the Horse: Miniatures to Majestics (includes riding), Urban Lot Farm Adventure: a fun way to explore, create and discover the farm and From Farm to Table: discover science behind the food we eat. Each session sparks creativity, curiosity, and critical thinking while helping you develop new skills in a fun and interactive environment.

Not only will participants have fun, but they’ll also gain valuable skills such as running a business meeting, enhancing communication and record-keeping abilities, and making lifelong friends. Our unique projects and activities are designed to develop problem-solving, critical thinking, teamwork, and communication skills in a supportive environment.​

Parent Involvement: Being part of 4-H means your family gets to play, work, and learn together. In this short Intro Club, parent/caregiver involvement isn’t mandatory, but we do encourage families to attend if able — whether that means helping out or simply observing the fun! You’ll also be invited to join us for the final hour (3-4pm) of the last session to celebrate what the youth have accomplished during our Achievement Celebration on July 30th.

BONUS: All Intro-Club members will receive invitations to several other free opportunities later in the year including bonus learning days and our September family park party (Sept. 13th).
