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.

North Carolina’s Operation: Military Kids (OMK) program, an initiative carried out by 4-H, is now accepting applications for Camp OMK. This camp is open exclusively for children 8 to 13 years of age of any uniformed service member, active duty or reserve component. Operation: Military Kids (OMK) understands our military youth are experiencing difficult times and situations with the deployment of a parent or parents. Camp OMK is free to all participants thanks to a generous donor.
Camp OMK, will focus on building coping skills and creating positive outlets for the intense emotions these children now live with daily. Critical to this experience is the camaraderie built among the campers as they meet other youth from across the state who are going through similar situations, but equally important is the opportunity to enjoy a carefree camping experiences with their peers. While at camp, these children will have fun, laugh, learn and just enjoy being kids.
