Leadership 2025

This year, 34 girls gathered for a weekend of Leapin' Out of their Comfort Zones and into Leadership!

The girls started the day with a session with Ms. Regina on Bravery. Here, they are doing a trust exercise with their sisters.

A group worked with Mom Renee & Dessie on tips to improve their Public Speaking.

Another group worked with Mom Katie on learning Love & Acceptance to others. They learned tips about each other & then left compliments for each other on their positive sheets!

Our girls put their creativity to a challenge by Tie Dying their Camp Shirts.

In the Afternoon, the girls were broken into their Assembly's where they were lead in a session by Dad Austin about "Thinking outside the box" when it comes to planning prospect parties.

For dinner, we had a Tacky Tourist Themed Dinner! The girls dressed in their best tacky tourist attire while learning table etiquette!

The girls learned some of our staple Grand Assembly dance line dances by PGWA's Dessie & Mackenzie!

Our Grand Officers lead the girls in a service project making cat toys & dog bandanas for a local animal shelter. Our girls made 115 bandanas & 98 cat toys.

Our Grand Officers also lead the girls in writing thank you notes to Veterans.

Our last session was a devotion lead by a few Grand Officers.
