2019 Youth Leadership Camp

Great Bend Co-op will be sponsoring one area youth to the Kansas Cooperative Council Leadership Camp. Applications are open to incoming High School Juniors and Seniors of the 2019 – 2020 school year.
 
Kansas Co-op Council has developed a Summer Youth Leadership Camp to educate young people on the cooperative principles. This summer program will provide a fun and engaging cooperative experience for students entering their Junior or Senior year of High School. This is a 2.5-day program held July 8^th – 10^th, 2019 at Rock Springs 4-H Center south of Junction City, KS. The Great Bend Co-op will be covering the cost to attend for lodging, meals, and all activities held at the camp. Registration is limited to 20 Kansas Youth and GBC has a spot saved for one of our own to attend. The program will include basic coop knowledge, a formal dinner with emphasis on teaching etiquette, leadership and team building, and time for fun. Contact Sloan Folk, marketing coordinator, if you are interested at 620-793-3531.
 
This is a pilot program that we are very excited to be able to participate in with the KCC and sponsor a Great Bend Co-op Member or Employee child to attend.
