Reflecting on This Year’s WJUSD Student Leadership Camp

Curated by Trao Thao

This year’s Student Leadership Camp was truly one of a kind. What made it especially unique was the involvement of our youth facilitators, who brought an incredible passion and dedication to creating an unforgettable experience for all the campers.

I had the privilege of witnessing the growth of each youth facilitator as they embraced their roles, honed their skills, and rose to the challenges of leadership. Watching them transform and step into their power was inspiring.

Equally rewarding was seeing the campers step out of their comfort zones, build meaningful relationships, and begin their journeys toward becoming the leaders they aspire to be. Their courage and willingness to grow made this camp an extraordinary experience for everyone involved.
