Mark your calendars and
spread the word for the First 4-H Teen Leadership Retreat held at the Northern
VA 4-H Educational Center in Front Royal Friday, November 8th –
Sunday, November 10th. This year’s theme, Igniting Your
Fire, will focus on leadership basics, characteristics of effective
leaders, and motivating yourself and others.
The activities begin at
6:30 pm on Friday, November 8th with a motivational assembly and
guest speaker, campfire, and organized meet-and-greet. Saturday’s program
involves workshops, teambuilding sessions, a service project, and the formation
of a teen leadership committee for those interested, followed by an evening
dance, and campfire. The weekend retreat concludes after breakfast with a final
ceremony and guest speaker.
The Leadership Retreat fee
of $95.00 includes meals, snacks, lodging, workshops, and a retreat T-shirt.
Additionally, we are asking for a donation of 2 (or more!) canned food items
from each retreat participant that will be donated to the Warren County Food
Bank. The Retreat is open to non-4-H members.
