4-H Intro Clubs – Summer Sampler Edition
This 4-H Intro Club is designed for youth ages 9–15 and runs for four days in the afternoons from 1 PM – 4 PM. With a short commitment and a big impact, this program is perfect for busy families who want an “all-in-one” experience and a chance to discover what 4-H is all about.
During an Intro Club, youth experience the power of hands-on learning with our “Learn to Do By Doing” approach and get a true “Taste of 4-H.” Over four exciting sessions, participants will explore a variety of 4-H projects including: Calgary Transit Workshop, Discovering the Horse, An Urban Lot Farm Adventure and Food Science. Each session sparks creativity, curiosity, and critical thinking while helping youth build new skills in a fun and interactive environment.
Not only will participants have fun, but they’ll also gain valuable life skills such as running a business meeting, improving communication and record-keeping, problem-solving, and teamwork — all while making new friends in a supportive setting.

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).
