4-H Programs
2024 Spring/Summer Youth Programs
Welcome to 4-H in Marathon County! All youth activities are offered by the University of Wisconsin – Madison, Division of Extension – Marathon County, and the Marathon County 4-H Leaders Federation. Traditionally, 4-H programs happen where ever youth are. This could be after school, or as a workshop, club, camp, or special event. 4-H programs are offered in a wide variety of formats and places because they’re designed to fit the interests and needs of the diverse young people who live in our rural and urban communities.
This summer, we will be offering a variety of programs for all youth in the Marathon Communities, currently in 5K to one year past high school. Some programs have specific ages while others are open to all youth.
Stop back often, we will update as more programs are offered.
Questions? Contact Holly Luerssen, 4-H Educator, at holly.luerssen@wisc.edu or 715-261-1240.
