KAYS Getting Ready for a New Year!
LyNece Stokesbury and Irene Tilton attended the KAY leadership camp at Rock Springs 4H Campground this past July 24-28. This year’s KAY theme is “Leadership Round-Up”, and the girls gathered lots of leadership skills by attending the camp. Both girls are on the KAY Board that help plan the group’s activities throughout the year.
230 student leaders from across the state of Kansas gathered at Rock Springs 4-H Center, Junction City, July 24-28, for a session of KAY (Kansas Association for Youth) Leadership Camp. The Kay program is a character-building, leadership-training, service organization directed by the Kansas State High School Activities Association and is designed for all students in grades 6-12.
KAY is an organization unique to Kansas which provides Kansas students an opportunity to assume their citizenship responsibilities and enrich their personalities through well-organized programs. These programs educate and inspire the members into carefully planned service projects which emphasize four areas: school, community, nation, and world.
At KAY Leadership Camp (KLC), student leaders representing their KAY organizations, receive organizational and leadership training and learn about new and exciting service projects. They are given the opportunity to meet and share ideas with hundreds of KAY members from all over the state. Activities during the week include team and mascot meetings, leadership labs, special interest options, creative projects, housing service projects, and recreational activities. Each evening includes a special activity for campers and staff.
The camp theme this summer was “Leadership Roundup.” At KLC, campers were provided a memorable time as they discovered their potential to make a difference as well as the rewards in serving others. Student campers had the opportunity to develop lifetime leadership skills, make lasting friendships across the state, experience a sense of responsibility and pride as they serve, and develop an attitude of doing for others because it’s the right thing to do!
A great deal of spirit, motivation, and enthusiasm was generated from this time together. Campers return to their clubs with a better understanding of their individual potential and the KAY organization. They realize that as an active leader in their club, they can truly make a difference.
KAY student leaders from Thunder Ridge High School attending KAY Leadership Camp this summer were Irene Tilton and Lynese Stokesbury. The Club’s sponsor is Robin Billings.
