Buckeye Leadership Workshop is a camp where people from all over the world come to, so they can gain more leadership skills. I received a scholarship to go to this camp. This camp was a five day overnight camp starting on April 4, 2018 and ending on April 8, 2018. This camp is located in Ohio, so for me, it was only an hour drive. Also, since it is Ohio, it was also snowing and there was ice everywhere.
Once I got there, they had this huge camp kick off. They told us that we need to go to our classes and then we would have some free time to try other activities as well. Unfortunately, there were no phones allowed at this camp, so I do not have any pictures to show you what I did. After the first night, we got up the next morning bright and early to eat and then go to our classes. I had two classes S.T.E.M. with arts and personality circle. I had never been to this camp before, so I had no idea what to expect. I went to my first class and learned all about S.T.E.M. and how you can take these activities back to you counties camp. In that class we did a lot of experiments and we were taught how and why they worked and what they taught children. Then I went to my next class. This class was much more calm. We got to take a whole bunch of different personality tests. Then we took those tests and compared the answers to the whole group. I really liked this class because it taught me more about myself and how I can work with other people with different personalities. They taught us to use different approaches to different personalities. Once we got all of our classes done, we got to do fun activities with the whole camp. We were placed in groups of people that we did not know and we had to work together with other groups to solve one big problem. We had to do this every night. I actually loved doing this because as a leader you have to learn how to work with the people you are paired with and then you have to work as one big group to solve the over all problem. We continued these classes and activities for four straight days. I learned a lot about myself and I learned a lot about working with different people and different groups to solve one big problem that everyone has. I would definitely recommend this camp to anyone who really wants to take a leap and learn a whole bunch of leadership skills. I can definitely say that these skills will not only be useful in 4-H, they will also be very useful in my future career.
