Leas. “They got of the bus with wide eyes saying ‘Man! This is out in the middle of nowhere!'”
The training began early on the Archery range at the University of Nevada Cooperative Extension campus in Logandale. The youth leaders were taught a series of lessons in archery range safety. During the morning the youth also attended training classes instructing them on the details of being camp counselors. In the afternoon, the group went canoeing at the Bowman Reservoir. Logandale resident Corey Dalley gave the trainees a hands-on session in canoeing and water safety. “Being in a canoe was a first time experience for some of these kids,”said Leas. “We had planned, as part of the training, to have them capsize their canoes and then bring them back in. But one of them capsized just as soon as they got off of the shore. So we got that part of the training out of the way early.” |
