As another school year begins, many Calgary families are looking for activities that help young people build confidence, make friends, and discover new interests. One organization that has been doing exactly that for more than a century is 4-H.\n<\/p>\n

While many people still associate 4-H with agriculture, today\u2019s program offers youth ages 9 to 15 opportunities to develop leadership, communication, teamwork, and practical life skills through hands-on learning experiences. Alongside traditional year-long clubs, 4-H Alberta also offers Intro Clubs, which are short-term programs allowing families to experience 4-H without committing to a full club year.\n<\/p>\n

Recent Intro Club participants have explored everything from pottery, baking, robotics, and chocolate making, to horsemanship, food science, reptiles, and behind-the-scenes tours. The focus is less on mastering a single project and more on encouraging curiosity, trying new experiences, and building confidence along the way.\n<\/p>\n

To help introduce more families to the program and reconnect with returning members before the new club year begins, 4-H Alberta is hosting a free community Park Party at the Dalhousie Community Association on Sunday, September 13, from 2:30 to 4:00 p.m.\n<\/p>\n

The afternoon is designed as a casual community gathering where families can meet local 4-H leaders and members, participate in outdoor games and activities, enjoy light refreshments, gelato, and learn about upcoming fall 2026 Intro Clubs and traditional 4-H opportunities. Everyone is welcome, including families who are simply curious about what 4-H has to offer.\n<\/p>\n

The event is free to attend, although advance registration is requested: https:\/\/4hab.com\/member\/4-h-alberta-intro-club-free-park-party-in-calgary.\n<\/p>\n

Only one registration is needed per family. If you have questions, you can email [email\u00a0protected]<\/a>.\n<\/p>\n

Whether you\u2019re already part of the 4-H community or just wondering what it\u2019s all about, the Park Party offers a relaxed opportunity to connect with others and explore how 4-H continues to help young people learn by doing.\n<\/p>\n
