Now that we have the approval to begin hosting in-person events at The Ranch and other locations, we’re able to begin Shooting Sports practices and meetings. Here’s how things will work.
Requirements for members to begin practices:
Enrolled in Shooting Sports in each discipline on 4HOnline.
Paid enrollment fee either by check or online.
Completed your required orientation for each discipline.
Members who are eligible to attend practices will receive an email with an invitation to register for practices on SignUpGenius. This email will come directly from the discipline superintendent or admin's email or the Larimer County Shooting Sports SignUpGenius account. Registration on SignUpGenius is required to attend practice. Each discipline will set its own deadline for registration. To allow as many members as possible to attend, each family is allowed only one parent/guardian to attend practices. Adults need to include their contact information in the SignUpGenius.
All participants must follow these basic guidelines at events:
Do not attend if you feel ill or are experiencing any symptoms of illness.
Masks are required for all participants at all times, unless a safety exception is specified by your event leader (for example, masks can be removed on the firing line in shooting sports practices for safety reasons)
If you are unable to wear a mask or prefer not to wear a mask, we ask you to participate virtually in these events
Wash your hands before attending, after the event, and as appropriate during the event
Enter and exit through separate doors
Each event space has its own bathroom facilities. Please only use the facilities designated for your event space
Individuals not following these guidelines may be asked to leave or be removed from the event.
We are happy to share good news with you!
We have officially received approval from Larimer County and CSU to begin holding in-person events at The Ranch! We are currently approved for scheduled events through February and we will reapply on a monthly basis.
We will NOT yet have access to the McKee Building at least through March. We find out on a monthly basis whether we have access. Our staff and The Ranch staff have been working diligently to move events to other spaces at The Ranch on a monthly basis.
Please look for communications from your club and project leaders regarding whether upcoming events will be in person or virtual. This may change on a month-by-month basis.
Leaders have been notified about whether space is reserved for club meetings, workshops, and practices being hosted in February. We will continue to update on a monthly basis.
All events will allow virtual access when reasonable and appropriate to do so. If you have questions about this, please contact your club or project leader, or our office.
We are excited to be able to begin meeting again, even in a limited capacity, as we know how essential in-person interaction is to 4-H programming and youth development. We also care deeply about the health and safety of our entire community.
Leaders will share expectations regarding health and safety guidelines for in-person events in advance of the events, which follow state and county health guidelines.
Do not attend if you feel ill or are experiencing any symptoms of illness.
Masks are required for all participants at all times, unless a safety exception is specified by your event leader (for example, masks can be removed on the firing line in shooting sports practices for safety reasons).
If you are unable to wear a mask or prefer not to wear a mask, we invite you to participate virtually in these events.
Wash your hands before attending, after the event, and as appropriate during the event.
Enter and exit through separate doors.
Each event space has its own bathroom facilities. Please only use the facilities designated for your event space.
Follow staff and leader guidance on the day of the event regarding additional health and safety guidelines.
Individuals not following these guidelines may be asked to leave or be removed from the event.
We look forward to seeing you at events and thank you in advance for supporting your leaders through this process and respecting these guidelines. This is a positive change and with your help, we can make it successful and hopefully continue to offer even more projects and programs in person!
If you have any questions about any of the above information or this transition, please contact Katie Daywalker.
