    I would just like to share how #IMPACTful this year’s Student Leadership Camp was to my future and for my school. What an amazing, life-changing experience!

    Student Council State Camp was so incredible. I have never met such a wonderful group of people in my life. I made so many new friends that I didn’t know before Monday and now I see several of them creating a life-long friendship with me, and the rest of my council.

    The people I met this week are such amazing leaders and it was so inspiring to see how quickly and easy it was for so many strangers to gather, and, after four days together, create such a powerful bond. My only complaint is that I wish it was longer!

    I would like to thank everyone for making such a great #IMPACT on me and my future. We are all wonderful leaders and we have the power to make the overall difference! Thank you for making the difference in me — I plan to visit again next year, and also hope to become a JC after I graduate!

    This camp meant so much to me. Thank you and everyone involved for all the hard work! It truly does pay off!
