About Our Club
Colorado 4-H believes in the power of young people and the Broken Arrows 4-H club provides an opportunity for young people to belong, be part of a group (club), and learn new skills while doing fun things together.
The Broken Arrows 4-H club welcomes new members in Lake County and the surrounding area. As the only traditional 4-H club in the county, the Broken Arrows club is open to all youth ages five (5) to eighteen (18), and supports a variety of projects including food, crafts, shooting sports, and can support small animals like goats and sheep. Come join us!
Lake County partners with Chaffee county so that our members have both the experience of a small club, as well as all the opportunities of a larger county. Please visit the Chaffee county 4-H website for more detailed information on how to join 4-H and upcoming events!
