Outdoor School Student Leader Scholarships Announced
Parents, students, and Outdoor School staff gathered together on June 10 to celebrate the 2004 Student Leader Scholarship Award winners. Just under $10,000 in scholarships was awarded to 10 student leaders for their outstanding service. "Outdoor School would not be possible without the inspiring work of these young adults," said Suzanne "Puffin" Marter, Outdoor School Coordinator. "They provide comfort and direction to impressionable sixth grade students while finding the same in themselves." Student Leaders are a rare combination of doctor, lawyer, sociologist, and teacher. They are competent child psychologists with their sophomore textbooks as proof. They are strict disciplinarians with twinkles in their eyes. They must be skilled referees, baby-sitters, teachers, friends, and advisors. The Outdoor School Student Leader is a humorist in a time of crisis, an arbitrator in a time of conflict and a leader in a time of confusion. They are idols with their heads in a cloud of campfire smoke and their feet in the mud. Each week Student Leaders combine the responsibilities of leading a cabin of eight to ten students with those of actively participating in a field study team for one of four areas of study. Over 1,500 student leaders provided at least one week of service during the 2003 - 2004 Outdoor School session. In order to be considered, students must be at least a sophomore, have passing grades, and have good attendance. The scholarships are available to high school students who have served as a student leader at least three times. Each applicant is required to submit copies of their student leader evaluations, two letters of recommendation, and a written essay indicating how they intend to apply the experience to their future plans. Top candidates were then interviewed by the scholarship committee. Excerpt from submitted essay When I first began participating in the Outdoor School program I was a shy, nervous, and unconfident sophomore. I couldn't identify any personal strengths or abilities. By the end of my first week I came away with knowledge of myself that I might never have gained... I know that my future would be missing something if I didn't become involved in the betterment and developmental process of young people. I am ready to embark on the next phase of my life. Outdoor School provided me with the most important thing during my high school years and for the future, to always make sure that my life has room for those that need me. - Halley "Piper" Wonder
