Archery Club:
Grades 4th-12th. Learn the basics of archery or improve your skills in the sport by participating in the 4-H Archery Club. Grades 4th through 12th in Hamilton County can join this club in the fall and practice throughout the school year. The club is full for the 2024-2025 school year, and no additional registrations can be taken at this time. Archery Club practices are held once a month during the fall and twice a month during the spring. Club members can compete in the 4-H Archery Jamboree (state competition) in the spring.
All practices are held outdoors on Saturdays and are supervised by 4-H-certified shooting sports instructors. To find out when the next 4-H archery season will begin, subscribe to the 4-H email newsletter.
4-H Gardening Club:
This 4-H club for grades 4th-8th in Hamilton County uses the 4-H Junior Master Gardener curriculum from Texas A&M to teach youth about plant and soil science, insects & diseases, and more. Art projects and experiments on plant topics, along with actually planting and growing things in the backyard and at the Extension office make this a very hands-on group! There is no cost to participate in this club.
Meetings are held at the Extension office (6183 Adamson Circle in Chattanooga) once a month, 4:30-6:00 p.m. on the last Monday of each month (with adjustments for holidays). Email hamiltoncounty4H@tennessee.edu or call the Extension office (423) 209-8560 for more information. New members (and their parents) are always welcome at meetings. Upcoming meeting dates are October 28, November 18, January 27, February 24, and March 31.
