Highlight: Summer Camp 07: A Taste Of College

This years' LEAP summer Enrichment camp was an overwhelming success. St. Edwards University was our gracious host and provided the perfect backdrop for the young people to experience campus life. The young people were energetic and enthusiastic and really enjoyed the opportunity and the experiences they got to be a part of.

There were a variety of events and projects and when it was over it seemed that there just wasn't enough time for all the events and fun which the young people had.

What is significant is that for the most part many of these children where not yet even in high school. The ages ranged from 11 to 17 years of age and some of the most talented work came from some of the younger participants.

There were also esteem and leadership workshops that allowed the young people to discover and bring forth talents and speaking skills within them they may not have known they possessed. Many of the young people will have cherished memories that will stay with them for years to come. Several of them will no doubt go on to pursue the industry training in the fields they were exposed to when they are making their plans for higher education and career choices.

Finally there was outstanding support from the parents, several of whom were dedicated volunteers. The general consensus was that this is exactly the type of program that they want to support and have their children participate in.

Our response to these comments and the favorable returns is
this is what an enrichment program can be with the right mix of community support, participation, and organization structure...

This is LEAP!
