Cooperative Education Camp Announced

This summer there is a unique opportunity to involve NC youth in a national education-leadership event – the National Institute on Cooperative Education in Asheville July 26-30, 2008.

The NICE program provides an exciting week of co-op leadership activities. These will include dynamic speakers, computer simulation exercises, hands-on cooperative education and educational games and activities, capped off with lots of fun and fellowship.

Rising 11th or 12th graders are being recruited to attend the awesome leadership camp held in beautiful Asheville.

A chartered bus will pick up the youth across North Carolina on Saturday, July 26th, for the trip to Asheville to enjoy the greatest leadership program ever. They will be joined on Sunday, July 27 by youth from 12-15 states for the NICE program. The bus will return the youth from Asheville on Wednesday, July 30.

The registration cost for 2008 NICE will be $300 per participant. It will include a sleeping room for four nights on the UNC-A campus, all meals and all conference expenses. Chartered bus transportation to/from Asheville will be available for an additional reasonable cost.

Randolph County 4-H will work with participants to find scholarships for rising 11 -12 graders to attend this most worthy leadership camp.

For additional information contact Barb at the Extension Office, 318-6000.
