  • Discussion of possibly planting flowers at the beginning of May in downtown Grafton.  We will check with the city government.

Camp Horseshoe Camps - Scholarships are available.
Youth Leadership Association of WV/Ohio has Camp Horseshoe in Tucker County.  There are several camps you can participate in.  The first is the Teen Entrepreneurship Summit, second is the Senior Leadership Summit, and finally Youth Opportunity Camp.

The first camp is  Teen Entrepreneurship Summit to be held on June 7-13.  The week-long experience includes workshops, visits to small businesses, outdoor team-building experiences, and other activities.  Grafton High School has 2 $290 scholarships available for this event.  Students would only need to pay $75.  Let Mr. Zukowski know if you would like to attend.

The second camp is the Senior Leadership Summit taking place on June 14-20.  There will be teens there to learn leadership skills to benefit the local YLA clubs as well as their communities.  The Grafton Lions Club is providing a full scholarship to one GHS student to attend.  Let Mr. Zukowski know if you would like to attend.

Last of all, it the Youth Opportunity Camp for children ages 7-12.   This camp is available to serve disadvantaged children in one-week installments starting June 28 to July 25.  Many high school students have volunteered at this camp for a week or two, especially after they have attended a previous camp.  If you would like to volunteer free of charge, see Mr. Zukowski.

There are many opportunities available this summer at Camp Horseshoe.
