When last we left our intrepid Leadership Weekend-ers:
 |
| It was Camp winter-wonderland play time! |
 |
| But it was also... |
 |
| Camp winter-wonderland-impromptu-team-building. |
 |
| Cause everyone... |
 |
| Sledding down the bowl... |
 |
| Simultaneously... |
 |
| Is harder to accomplish... |
 |
| ...Than it make look. |
 |
| It's also more fun than it may look. |
 |
| And of course! |
 |
| There was the Camp Dog. |
 |
| And he was soon joined... |
 |
| By the Camp Snow Dog. |
 |
| But no matter how much fun a Camp-Winter-Wonderland is... |
 |
| Eventually we have to go inside and warm up. |
 |
| Which is why we have the toasty Winter Headquarters! |
 |
| To hang out! |
 |
| Play some games. |
 |
| Tell some stories! |
 |
| Eat some snacks! |
 |
| And prepare for "What-Now, Hot Shot!?" |
 |
| Our patented Staff Training Scenarios game. |
 |
| The Leadership Weekend variation, |
 |
| Is run by our 2nd year Junior Counselors, to help prep our first year JCs on some of the camp craziness they just might encounter. |
 |
| And by now! |
 |
| We've certainly earned dinner. |
 |
| Which we make ourselves! |
 |
| Which is a lot of fun. |
 |
| Hey! I said it's a lot of fun! |
 |
| That's more like it. |
 |
| Q: How many Disney quotes can fit on one "Welcome to Leadership" Weekend sign? |
 |
| A: Somewhere between "A Lot" and "Too Many". |
 |
| And with that, we made it to Sunday Morning! |
 |
| Where our Senior Staff... |
 |
| Prepare to proctor... |
 |
| The ROMANCHUK. |
 |
| (What in the world is the ROMANCHUK!?) |
 |
| Great question, thanks for asking, parenthetical statement. |
 |
| The ROMANCHUK is our Jr. Counselor final exam. |
 |
| Our JC applicants compete in teams... |
 |
| To find a wide variety of... |
 |
| Applicable .. |
 |
| And unique ways... |
 |
| That Junior Counselors can help... |
 |
| To support the Camp community... |
 |
| In a whole bunch of different situations... |
 |
| That might just arise... |
 |
| During Summer 2017. |
 |
| Then, after the final... |
 |
| (There's a final thing after the final?!) |
 |
| Of course there is. |
 |
| Cause we always have the same final thing after a stay at Summer Camp. |
 |
| Even if it's Summer Camp in the winter time. |
 |
| And while we love traditional things at Camp... |
 |
| And the same old thing... |
 |
| Time after time, at Camp... |
 |
| We also love brand new things! |
 |
| First time-ever things! |
 |
| And what we love the most... |
 |
| Is when we can combine both of those. |
 |
| And so it was, when we had our first-ever... |
 |
| (That anyone present could recall, at least...) |
 |
| Both time-honored... |
 |
| And brand-new... |
 |
| Thank You Circle in the middle of a snow storm. |
 |
| And that idea kind of sums of the whole idea of what Leadership Weekend really is. |
 |
| A brand-new version of the same ol' thing. |
 |
| It's a whole bunch of folks... |
 |
| Who've spent a lot of time at Camp... |
 |
| (Even grown up here a bit...) |
 |
| Who are looking forward to working toward... |
 |
| And creating... |
 |
| More of the same ol' thing... |
 |
| (Great summers at L.G. Cook 4-H Camp...) |
 |
| In a brand-new way... |
 |
| Playing a new role... |
 |
| Giving back to Camp... |
 |
| Helping to make that same... |
 |
| Classic American Summer Camp experience they enjoyed so much... |
 |
| For a brand-new generation of campers... |
 |
| In the care of a brand-new generation of Junior Counselors... |
 |
| Who have just finished their training... |
 |
| At Leadership Weekend 2017. |
NEXT TIME: Well, that's clearly the end of Leadership Weekend. There can't be more posts from Leadership Weekend.
Incorrect!
Next time, there's MORE FROM LEADERSHIP WEEKEND, as we turn the blog over to a group of our Junior Counselors who want to explain why YOU should sign up for Summer 2017 before our Early-Bird Deadline on March 15th. Stay tuned!
