Camp Neidig - a Rotary leadership program for high school students
At our Oct 30, 2013 meeting we had three high school students tell us about their experience at Camp Neidig. Camp Neidig is a program not a place. It is a four day leadership opportunity for high school students. On average, 200 students from 80 high schools from our Rotary district participate in physical and mental leadership exercises. Our own Rotary member David Woffindin attended when he was in high school in 1968.
Katy Ma, a senior at Central Bucks West explained that it was a difficult decision to attend because the camp was during finals. She enjoyed team competition day and the special speakers at the camp. She helped put together the 50 page yearbook in three days.
Dan Rogus, from Central Bucks East felt the people at camp immediately meshed with each other. The event that stood out most to Dan was the Sunday nondenominational religious service. The experience provided a great opportunity to lead and learn about leadership. Dan stated that the camp was the best experience of his life so far.
Joy Kim, a senior at East also enjoyed the camp and made long lasting friendships. She enjoyed the team building exercises and volleyball games. She was amazed that such a diverse group of people were able to come together during the camp.
