4-H Events

Youth must be registered as a 4-H member to sign up for any 4-H class or club. 4-H registration can be done at https://4h.zsuite.org/. The cost is $10/year (September 1 through August 31) and can be paid with a credit card on that site. Youth and volunteers must register every year.

After registering to become a 4-H member on ZSuite, youth can then register for specific camps and classes on Event Brite. Please use the child's name when registering, not the parent/guardian name.

Teen Council

Are you a teen looking to make a difference, develop leadership skills, and have your voice heard? Teen Council is the perfect opportunity for you! As a member of Teen Council, you'll work alongside other teens to plan events, share ideas, and take action on issues that matter to you and your community. Join us and be part of something bigger! Register on 4h.zsuite.org for Teen Council Club for 8th-12th graders, and Junior Teen Council Club for 5th-7th graders.

Large Livestock Programs

Wasatch County offers a variety of large livestock programs including market steers, market lambs, market goats, and market swine. These programs are designed for youth who are interested in livestock and participating in livestock events throughout the year. The Large Livestock Program and Livestock pages have additional details about events and livestock.

Small Animal Programs

In Wasatch County we have clubs for youth interested in chickens, turkeys, rabbits, and dairy goats. These programs provide hands-on opportunities for youth to learn more about animal care and responsibility.

Chicken and rabbit club meetings start in March and go through May.

The turkey show and sale is in November, prior to Thanksgiving.
The dairy goat club is new and youth don't need to own their own goat! They can borrow one to show.

For more information, contact Abigail Johnson at abigail.johnson@usu.edu

Dog Program

The 4-H Dog Club helps youth learn how to care for, train, and show their dogs in a fun environment. The club is open to kids and teens of all experience levels. Participation helps build self-confidence, responsibility, and independence in youth while strengthening their relationship with their dogs.

New members can join the club in August and the county contest is held at the end of May.

For more information, contact Abigail Johnson at abigail.johnson@usu.edu

Horse Program

The Horse 4-H Club provides youth with opportunities to develop riding skills while also learning responsibility, teamwork, and leadership in a fun and supportive environment. Participation helps build confidence and promote personal growth.

Gardening Resources

Wasatch and Summit Counties Horticulture Needs Survey

Do you have specific horticulture related questions? Needs? Taking this survey will better help us understand the needs and interests of those in our community related to horticulture and gardening. It will help us better develop programs and services specific to your needs. Be sure to take the survey and let us know how we can better serve you!

Wasatch Back Fruit Tree Project

Do you live along the Wasatch Back and have fruit trees? USU Extension in Wasatch and Summit counties needs your help! We're attempting to consolidate information from backyard fruit growers like you to provide the best information about which fruit trees (only apple and peach right now) grow best in our unique area. We're looking to collect bloom and harvest timing data. Sign up to participate and you'll get an email this spring to collect data on your fruit trees.

Soil Testing

Your soil is the nutrient bank for your plants. One of the best things you can do as a gardener to better help your plants while being environmentally conscious and responsible is to know what nutrient levels are present in your soil. Consider submitting a soil test to better understand what you should and shouldn't be adding to your soil!

Monthly Garden Tips

USU Extension's Gardener's Almanac provides month-by-month tips and tasks to make sure you are on top of all things gardening! Each month also has links to dozens of timely, relevant, useful resources to help you in all your horticulture endeavors.

Master Gardener

Maple Tapping

If you are interested in learning more about the process, or even tapping trees on your property, fill out this survey! You'll receive additional information on the process, and you'll be notified of our maple tapping workshop this fall (2023).
