Welcome!

We are so excited to have your child join the Larimer County 4-H family.

Cloverbuds is a 4-H program designed for children ages 5 to 7. This is the perfect way to introduce your child to everything 4-H has to offer in a fun and supportive environment.

What to Expect

Cloverbuds focuses on participation, learning, and teamwork, not competition.Your child can explore new interests and build confidence without pressure.

Activities are hands-on and age-appropriate, for example:

  • Learn about nutrition while preparing a simple snack
  • Plant seeds and discover how they grow
  • Decorate a cake while exploring creativity and design 

As a Cloverbud, your child will be a 4-H member and part of a local club led by a volunteer. 

Because safety is our top priority, some activities, like handling animals or shooting sports equipment, are reserved for older members. But there is no shortage of engaging and emaningful experiences for your Cloverbud to enjoy!

How to Enroll

  1. Select a club in your area that is accepting Cloverbuds.
  2. Visit 4-H Online, enroll, and select "Cloverbud" as your child's project. 

Enrollment is $50 for the year, and scholarships are available.
