Hello to my readers, and welcome to the third and final part of my YLGE Camp series.
For the last part, I am going to go over our Final Day as well as all of my favorite things I got out of this camp. Let’s go!!!
To start off the day, we all wore our dream college shirt. I, of course, wore an Oklahoma State shirt!! We all ate breakfast at the Glo Hotel downtown, which was where we stayed for the whole length of camp. I liked staying at the hotel because it was close to a lot of the activities we participated in, and we had really nice rooms, which was perfect after a long day of events. We then traveled to Autry Technology Center, which is where we spent a couple hours before it was time to part ways and go home!! We talked about the past few days and discussed everything we enjoyed or disliked. We also further discussed our Philanthropic Project!! All of us agreed to donate to Youth & Family Services because we felt closest to the kids there. The staff at Autry set up some fun activities for us to do, like creating one of our peer’s personality crests. I got to do Aspens, and she loved it!! We also did a fun escape room, which was very challenging. I had Delaney, Reese, and Luke on my team, and we killed it!!! We won against our other 5 classmates, and the prize was the best of all: BRAGGING RIGHTS!! That was really the full wrap-up of our last day and everything we did!!
One of my favorite things I’m taking from YLGE is the amazing friendships I made with my classmates. I was one of the only youth members there to know of everyone, but I had no idea how much I didn’t know about them!! We all learned so much about each other and from each other, and it’s an experience that I believe everyone should experience. I gained 7 more friends! Another thing I really enjoyed was gaining tons of connections from the people and business owners of our community. Our mentors constantly talked about having lots of connections because you never know when they will come in handy. Therefore, I am so grateful I built a lot of relationships with the adults. For the last time, PLEASE apply for Youth Leadership Greater Enid summer camp. It is such an amazing experience and so worth the extra days away from home. I could not recommend it ENOUGH!!!! If you are interested in applying and have any questions, email me at tweensceneenid@gmail.com. I would love to talk with you about anything concerning the camp, so please reach out!! Thank you for reading this month’s article. I hope you enjoyed this series!! If you have any ideas for upcoming articles, email me for that too!! I hope you all have an amazing September and start to the 2024 fall season. See you next month!!! <333333
