Leadership Weekend 2019 Part I: The Beginning


That's right...

We're here!

The Camp Family...



Is back together...

Back in action...

And back at 4-H Camp...

For Leadership Weekend!

Cause who doesn't need...

Just a little...

Summer Camp joy...

In the midst of winter.

And as always, we start that Summer Camp joy...

With an Opening Campfire...

To introduce WHY we're here...

In the middle of February.


(Why ARE we here in the middle of February?)

It's simple! We're here...

'Cause we're next year's Junior Counselors, of course!

Junior Counselors who follow a sleep-away Camp night...

With a sleep-away Camp MORNING!


With Camp morning table setting...

Camp morning yoga...

Camp morning breakfast prep...

(Yum)...

Camp Morning, Curtis...

And Camp Morning clean-up!

Cause part of WHY WE'RE HERE...



Is to give back to 4-H Camp...

And a great way to give back to Camp...

Is to help give the Dining Hall...

A Pre-"Spring Cleaning" Clean!


(Especially because we still left out most of the stuff from Winter Gathering.)

Yes, and as all of our former CITs...

Have gathered to learn more about HOW we take care of Camp...

(Back to WHY WE'RE HERE!)...

One of the best ways to take care of 4-H Camp...

Is to have a great time...

While you're working.

How much fun...

Can you really have...

While cleaning up...

Two month old...

Holiday wreaths?


Oh, don't underestimate...



The future...

Junior Counselors...

And staff...

Of L.G. Cook...

4-H Camp!

We know how to have...

TOO MUCH FUN...

Doing almost...

Anything!

But back to WHY WE'RE HERE!

We're here to team build...

With a "Story-Telling Campfire" tonight!
And to do so,



 First we need to team build...

By getting the "Story-Telling Campfire-wood!"

And also back to WHY WE'RE HERE!

The participants of Leadership Weekend...

Have (for the most part)...

Been coming to summer camp year after year...

Summer after summer...

And have enjoyed...

Playing outside...

With almost every summer camp activity...

We have to offer.

And now,

Since they've finally aged-out...

Of our Summer Camp program...

We only think it's right...
To give them the opportunity... 

To have fun...

Playing...

Outside...

Together...

With some of the...


NON-SUMMER camp activities we have to offer...



As well.

And ALSO BACK TO "WHY WE'RE HERE"!

Leadership Weekend is a Junior Counselor TRAINING weekend...

And even more important than the Junior Counselors taking care of 4-H Camp...

Is that the Junior Counselors help take care of the CAMPERS at 4-H Camp...

So we spent some quality time talking out...

The philosophies, goals, and tactics...

Of our caring, welcoming, kind and respectful 4-H Camp environment.

Speaking of environment! You know we couldn't be here...

Without playing...

Some 4 Square...

Taking...

Some hikes...

And just enjoying every minute...

Of getting to be...

Back on Camp again.

Sounds like the makings for a full weekend, right?

Wrong!

Because it's only Saturday afternoon!

And despite the time we've had...

The fun we've had...

And all we've accomplished...


There's still half of a Leadership Weekend to go!



But you'll have to come back to the blog later to see that.
