4-H Project Clubs & Groups
In Chippewa County 4-H, we offer Single Project Clubs and County Project Groups for our enrolled members, as well as Single Project Clubs for community youth. These groups enhance your 4-H experience, providing opportunities for youth to explore and excel in different project areas.
Single Project 4-H Clubs
A 4-H Single-Project Club, focuses on a specific project, welcomes all community members who meet the age requirements. Club members gather regularly under the guidance of an adult volunteer with a planned program. These clubs usually have elected officers and member-approved rules to govern the club, or for younger groups, other developmentally appropriate structures and processes. Community clubs typically meet in the evenings or on weekends, offering specific learning experiences and activities centered on a single project area, such as horses or dogs.
Horse & Pony Club
Explore the world of horses and ponies by learning the basics like breeds, gaits, equipment, and riding styles. The Horse & Pony Project is perfect for those who own or lease these animals. If you don’t own or lease, you can join the Horseless Horse or Model Horse Project.
These projects will teach you valuable skills and prepare you for various 4-H events, such as the County Fair, State 4-H Hunt & Dressage, State 4-H Gymkhana, and State 4-H Expo. They provide a great foundation for a fun and rewarding 4-H experience.
The Horse Club is open to youth from Kindergarten to 13th grade. Members can also belong to another club, but as a single project club, you’ll only participate in the Horse Project area unless you join an additional 4-H Community Club.
