We do have a few clubs that have reached their enrollment cap which are: DC Aggies, Cherry Valley Aggies and Paddock Posse. If this club is a club that you were interested in joining, please reach out to the Douglas County Extension Office at (720) 733-6940 and we would be happy to help you find a club that is a good fit for your family. 

While we would love for everyone to be able to join the club they prefer, it is not feasible for all clubs to have unlimited enrollment due to space and leader constraints.
