Leadership: Resolving Conflict
Conflict is a fact of life.
Conflict and disagreements are not the same thing.
Different ways to deal with conflict are necessary to get the best result.
When addressed, conflict helps a group or individual become stronger.
Conflict, if left unaddressed, can keep a group or individual from functioning positively.
4-H Camp
4-H Camp will be held May 26 - 30 for 4th, 5th and 6th grade 4-H'ers. The cost of 4-H Camp is $125. We are now taking $50 deposits for Camp. Space is limited so we will take campers on a first come-first served basis.
