Ogemaw 4-H Clubs

County Enrollment Deadline: January 15th

Please note that our county enrollment deadline for 4-H is January 15th. This deadline is for current 4-H members who are updating their enrollments for the program year. However, families new to 4-H are encouraged to enroll by this deadline as well! This ensures you receive communications about all that 4-H has to offer in the community. You can always add additional clubs, projects, and events after the enrollment deadline.

If you know you want to participate in 4-H, but aren't sure how yet, you are welcome to enroll in the "Ogemaw 4-H (No Club Affiliation)" club and reach out! I'm happy to help you find your place with 4-H

Please contact us with any questions at 989-345-0692 or email us at MSUE.Ogemaw@msu.edu.

Ogemaw Hills 4-H Shooting Sports

The Michigan 4-H Shooting Sports program has been active for more than 20 years. Youth in more than 70 counties participate in a variety of shooting sports areas every year! Members can learn safety and shooting techniques for a variety of disciplines - in Ogemaw County, the club currently offers archery and BB/air rifle, with hopes to add shotgun! Club members learn how to handle equipment responsibly for target practice and hunting and learn respect for the natural environment. Interested in helping out as a volunteer? Please contact us at MSUE.Ogemaw@msu.edu, or 989-345-0692!

For the 2022-23 season, the club meets on Thursdays at 6pm at the Rifle Creek Archery Park (2025 M-55, West Branch, MI 48661).
