    Summer’s annual Student Leadership Camp is underway in Fort Collins on Monday.

    The camp, which runs through Thursday, draws more than 500 participants — including students and counselors — to the campus of Colorado State University. It gives attendees leadership skills they can use throughout the school year.

    This summer’s camp marks the 51st anniversary.

    Among topics covered during the camp are meetings on diversity, self-evaluation, team-building, technology and building leadership programs.

    CHSAA assistant commissioner Harry Waterman is the camp’s coordinator and director. Rashaan Davis, StuCo Advisor at Highlands Ranch High School, is the curriculum director.

    AURORA — The fifth-annual CHSAA Vocal Music Gala is slated for Friday, May 1, at the University of Denver’s Newman Center for the Performing Arts beginning at 6 p.m.

The Newman Center is located at 2344 East Iliff Avenue on the DU campus.

    Each of the performing groups earned their right to take the stage on May 1 after their performances during the CHSAA Large Group Music Festivals which have professionally-trained vocal music judges evaluating and rating each group. Those selected were among the top-rated groups across the state.

    Tickets are $10 for adults, with K-12 students and Senior Citizens (60 & over) $7. DU Pioneer Card holders are $5. On-site parking is $8 per vehicle (cash only). Please note that persons needing accommodations for a disability should call the box office as early as possible.

    Tickets can be purchased prior to the event at the Newman Center Box Office, which is open Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. or online at newmantix.com.

    For additional information, please contact Bethany Brookens at the CHSAA office.
