J.O.L.T
- Legacy For Leadership 4-H Endowment |
|
| The first J.O.L.T. – or Journey of Opportunities for Leaders of Tomorrow – Camp was held during the summer of 1987. Traditionally held at Camp Shadow Pines in Heber, J.O.L.T. is an Arizona 4-H Teen Leadership camp a camp designed by teens for teens. Over 1600 4-H’ers have attended J.O.L.T. since its inception, where a positive environment promotes personal development, team building and self-confidence. Participants have enjoyed many activities that build trust, leadership and communication skills, and the positive environment at J.O.L.T. promotes personal development and self-confidence among its campers. |

At the 15th Anniversary J.O.L.T. Camp in June, 2002, J.O.L.T. participants faced a challenging situation: the devastating Rodeo-Chediski Fire was rapidly advancing and they were forced to evacuate the camp, leaving their personal belongings in the face of the fire and caravanning through thick smoke to a safer location in Northern Arizona. The youth staff and adult leaders came together at the evacuation center to continue the legacy and complete the team-building activities that make J.O.L.T. a special experience – the camp program ended while ash and smoke fell as youth waited to be driven home from the fire, ending the camp several days before the camp was supposed to have ended. |

After the camp was over, 86 of the J.O.L.T. participants voted to donate their refund checks (a partial refund was returned to 4-H because the camp ended early), creating the J.O.L.T. - Legacy for Leadership 4-H Endowment Fund, the first EVER youth established endowment fund in the history of the Arizona 4-H Youth Foundation. How can I contribute? Example: 7 years in 4-H, Pledge $7.00 =.14 cents per week OR .02 cents per day! |
