HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Huron Expositor, 1995-09-20, Page 17Entertainment Local youths develop leadership skills 'Positive and motivated' was the feeling that the over- whelming majority of dele- gates at the first annual 'Pride of Huron Leadership Cainp for Rural and Urban Youth' left with as they departed camp. The young people, ranging in age from 15 to 19. had just spent a weekend discovering untapped leadership qualities within themselves. The retreat was held on the beautiful shores of Lake Huron at Camp Kintail, north of Goderich from Friday, Sept. 8 to Sunday, Sept.10. The del- egates took part in several leadership sessions focusing on effective meeting proce- dures, shared leadership, goal - setting and self-awareness. Highlights of the camp included a vibrant discussion on the qualities that create a great leader. The entertaining piece on rural economics and starting a small business pre- sented by guest speaker Pam Stanley was a key portion of the camp for several delegates. The goal of the camp was to create a unique environment for delegates to explore lead- ership possibilities and take risks while rnaintaining a fun atmosphere. According to sur- veys after the camp, the lead- ership sessions were made enjoyable by the facilitators' very 'up' style of presentation, emphasizing the positive and building through the bonds created by group interaction. Intermixed throughout the weekend were many periods of recreation which help create a team -building mood. The hulk of the planning was done by Huron County Junior Farmers; an organization dedi- cated to the development of young leaders through self- help and community better- ment. This camp only scratch- es the surface of the programs that are available to rural and urban youth through Junior Farmers at both - the county and provincial lev- 'els. The youths present at the camp came from all over Huron County, from rural areas as well as from various towns and villages. Some knew each other and some didn't; but by Sunday evening they were one solid group of friends.
