Free leadership camp for high juniors and seniors with disabilities

For the past 4 years, the Oklahoma Developmental Disabilities Council has offered a free leadership camp on the campus of USAO in Chickasha -- the Oklahoma Youth Leadership Forum.

The camp is based on a national model and seeks to serve rising high school juniors and seniors with disabilities -- any disability.

It's a great time and is beneficial to the youth who participate, their parents, and the facilitators, all of whom are teachers or psychology students. The camp is free and ODDC will also reimburse travel and help other family expenses.

A video of past camp activities as well as a camp brochure and application form are available on the ODDC website.

Please note: The deadline for registration has been extended to April 30, 2008.

To apply, submit the "pre-application" and the "application" by April 30. ODDC staff can assist anyone who needs help with the application process by phone at 405-521-4984 or toll-free, at 1-800-836-4470.
