Swimming, Capture the Flag, and Channel Six

*Excerpt from 11 year old Day Camp Participant participating in the LEADERS program, a program designed for 11-13 year olds that emphasizes career exploration, positive self-expression, and leadership and service opportunities.

"Earlier this week we went to Channel 6 to watch them record the news--it was really cool. They were talking about the weather and all of the flooding that's going on. There's not actually a map on the screen--it's really cool--the weather lady was pointing at a blank screen. The screen can be all sorts of different colors--there's really just not a map! We had to be really quiet while they taped the news. While we were there we learned about the different jobs that you can have in the news."

"We also went swimming---it's really hot outside, and we've been playing Capture the Flag. Today our team tied the other team. Maybe we'll win tomorrow."
