LCORT 2012–Another Great Adventure
LCORT 2012–Another Great Adventure
Reported by Linzy Suruki, Corralitos 4-H
LCORT stands for Leadership Conference of Regional Teens. LCORT is a three day conference for kids to learn leadership skills. LCORT was held at Wonder Valley Ranch near Fresno and was held on January 27-29, 2012.
Kids attend numerous workshops such as goal-setting, organization, teamwork and public speaking. Sixth, seventh, and eighth graders were there from the Central California region. At LCORT, kids that attend have a chance to meet new people, learn skills, and participate in a new experience with other kids.
From Corralitos 4-H, Lyann, Emily, Megan, Marjorie, and Julia were there. Some kids from our club and other clubs in our county were teaching a class on goal setting that was very popular.
One chaperone that I spoke with said, “The kids seemed to have a great time learning new skills with new kids from across the state. With eight kids per room the weekend was like a big slumber party! And the Saturday night dance was a huge hit!"
After hearing the details from the 2012 LCORT conference I learned that it sounds like a lot of fun and kids can try things that they might not have done before. Since I am in sixth grade now, I might go to LCORT next year!!
