Learn To Do By Doing

If you are a student and looking for a club activity.  Come join us!  We work with age groups from 9 years old (as of Jan-1-13) to 21 years old.  You can take the opportunity to learn leadership, banking, communication skills, starting and finishing a market animal; such as a pig or steer; learning more about horsemanship, or even learning how to shoot and maintain a gun; just to name a few.

The opportunities through 4-H are endless.

There is a winter camp near Cypress Hills where you learn leadership and how to ski or improve those skills.

You can meet new 4-H members from all over Alberta, Canada, United States and go on 4-H exchange trips all over the world, if you choose.
In the summer there are camps going on every week with qualified leaders at a beautiful site in Battle Lake, AB, our 4-H headquarters, just west of Wetaskiwan; with a lake to canoe and swim in; you learn archery, there is a baseball and soccer field also a basketball court, hikes and lots of games and fun activities; it appears that this place has an opportunity for everyone.  You can even sleep in a tee-pee.

The scholarships for 4-H members are numerous.

4-H looks good to an employer on any resume.

Yes the sky IS the Limit when you join 4-H!
