Day One: Boot Camp

Today marks our first official day at State Leadership Conference! Delegates started to arrive and trek from the parking lot to the Segundo Housing Complex where they were checked in and received their name tags and meal wristbands.



After enjoying Mongolian barbecue and lots of ice cream, delegates headed over to Freeborn Hall (located next to the Memorial Union) for the opening assembly.



There the 4-Her's were familiarized with the rules and schedule of the conference by the State Ambassadors. The videos Ambassadors put together were quite hilarious. Then keynote speaker Michael Pritchard discussed the importance of using our hearts and the lessons we can learn from children. He shared many interesting stories about his children and various other children he has spoken to all across the United States.



Delegates participated in a plethora of icebreakers which had them act like sea lions, sick sea turtles, and ninjas. Dinner consisted of sweet and sour chicken and a excellent salad bar.



Right after dinner, delegates marched over to the UC Davis public pool where we enjoyed jumping off the diving board, playing board games, watching movies, and making new friends from across the state. I know that we all can't wait for our awesome workshops and our recreation surprise tomorrow! See you soon!!!
