STEM Night. Building and Tenzi.






Good Afternoon,
We are excited to kick off year 2 of the Iowa 4-H Statewide Fishing Club. This program is designed to engage students in grades 4-12 with Iowa’s aquatic ecosystems, fishing techniques, and environmental stewardship.
This unique program helps youth step away from screens and into the great outdoors, where they can develop lifelong skills in fishing, fish identification, lure tying, water safety, and more. Through webinars, tournaments, and skills days, members will build confidence and appreciation for nature while connecting with other young anglers across the state.
Scholarships are available to ensure all youth have the opportunity to participate.
Thank you for supporting Iowa’s youth in exploring new hobbies and outdoor recreation.
Please reach out if you have any questions.
Thank You,
Katie Peterson, Youth Program Specialist

The BlueChip Wrestling Club is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to helping local youth grow—not just as athletes, but as individuals. Serving Bellevue, Iowa, and the surrounding communities, we provide wrestling opportunities for boys and girls from kindergarten through high school in an environment that is safe, inclusive, and focused on building life skills.
Our mission is simple but powerful: Build character through discipline, sportsmanship, and perseverance. Boost confidence by helping athletes set and achieve goals. Strengthen community through mentorship and teamwork.
We keep our program affordable and accessible for all families, regardless of income, thanks to the generosity of donors, sponsors, and volunteers. Our coaches are parents, former collegiate athletes, and community members who give their time freely because they believe in what wrestling teaches: respect, resilience, and how to handle both victory and defeat with grace.
