WELCOME CAMP NEIDIG CAMPERS
Each year our club sends 6 students to the District sponsored Leadership Camp in Douglassville, Camp Neidig. The students often don't know the people they are going with or teaming with. The idea of the camp is to help them develop skills to lead and learn about themselves and where they may want to develop in order to be tomorrow's effective leaders. The club has been sending students for almost 70 years. The campers stay 4 days and form teams in order to compete and problem solve as a team. At the conclusion they are asked to present their results to parents and peers the final evening. Following the camp, we ask them to attend lunch and tell us what they've learned.
The campers are (l - r) Joanna Zeheng (Methacton HS), Adrianna Wright (Norristown HS), Max Whittenberg (Plymouth Whitemarsh HS), Arielle Greenberg (Plymouth Whitemarsh HS), Nick Oliveri (Methacton HS) and absent was Nicole Henry (Norristown HS)
The students gave a brief synopsis of what they learned in 4 days. There was a lot of learning around forming teams and working together. One student even learned to temper her fear of insects.
These ambiguously young adults (high school juniors) are thinking ahead toward careers ranging from political science and to entomology.
