Enrollment for the 2025 4-H year is open at v2.4HOnline.com and the deadlines to enroll are approaching. We wanted to mention a few items to note as you’re completing the enrollment process.
Upload your Hunter Education card.
4HOnline does NOT save your hunter ed card from last year. Please upload it when you’re filling out enrollment. If you don’t yet have hunter education, no problem! You can email it to be added later.
Upload your Youth Handgun Form.
If you are enrolling in .22 Pistol or Western Heritage, you will also upload your youth handgun form. (You can download a blank copy here.)
Click the “Pay by Check” button.
Regardless of whether you want to pay online or via check, you will click the “Pay by Check” button. Larimer County 4-H does not use 4HOnline’s system for payments, so “Pay by Check” tells the website that you’re paying outside that system. Then you must go all the way through to the end and click the “Submit” button. Please see this instruction sheet for help with the steps to finish the enrollment process and submit it to Larimer County 4-H.
Submit Your Payment.
Submit your payment of $50 per member for enrollment fees via either check or online as follows:
Send a check made out to Larimer County 4-H to the following address:
Larimer County Extension Office, 1525 Blue Spruce Drive, Fort Collins, CO 80524-2004
Pay online:

If you submit your enrollment without your Hunter Ed card or Youth Handgun Form, you will need to email them directly to Britney Filter for her to manually add them to the system.
Deadlines for enrollment are February 1 for returning members, and March 1 for new members.
