Marathon County 4-H

Marathon County 4-H offers youth trips, camps, fairs, shows, conferences, and a summer camp. Youth can join a 4-H community club and take part in these activities through the local 4-H program. The program is part of a community of young people across America who are learning leadership, citizenship, and life skills.

• Ages: 5–18 years old
• Schedule: Most 4-H clubs have meetings for the entire membership once a month.

The local 4-H program works with 30 Community Clubs in Marathon County, which meet monthly, along with countywide educational project meetings throughout the year. A summer camp is conducted annually for all county residents. The mission of Marathon County 4-H is to provide outreach education to the residents of Marathon County. Support for 4-H programs is a joint effort of local county government, the University of Wisconsin-Extension, and the U.S. Department of Agriculture, and the University of Wisconsin–Madison Division of Extension provides equal opportunities in employment and programming in compliance with state and federal law. 4-H is open to all youth and adults regardless of their ethnic background, race, creed, or disability, and 4-H facilitates outreach programs with local partner agencies.
