making a path for others to follow, on June 23rd. Along the way they took the time to visit college
campuses and technical schools. The first day they
toured Labette Community College, Pittsburg State
University, and Vatterott College. The next morn-
ing they headed to Ozark Christian College before
spending the afternoon exploring and learning
about the Fantastic Caverns. While at Fantastic
Caverns they learned how long it takes for a stal-
actite or stalagmite to grow just one inch of calci-
um deposits: 100 years! That evening the students
participated in special rodeo games such as dress-
ing a goat, barrel racing with stick horses, and
roping. The next morning was spent networking
with other students from participating TRIO pro-
grams in the area while attending sessions on
studying abroad, how to communicate without
words, leadership skills, among many others. That
afternoon students participated in quiz bowl, ora-
tory, and essay writing competitions. During the
banquet that evening students were entertained by
keynote speaker, Wade Rouse, author and humor-
ist. The next morning was the awards banquet

for placing in the following competitions: Logan
Littlejohn, Karrington Turner, and Joshua Smith

On June 30th, thirty four high school students
headed to their favorite destination, Sky Ranch, in
Quapaw, OK for some fun in the sun where they
enjoyed swimming in the spring fed creek, riding
the horses on the peaceful trials, a very competitive
game of paintball, over coming their fears while zip
lining, practiced their skeet shooting skills and
even sliding down the Sklyde, a giant slip n slide
on the side of a hill. There were workshops to im-
prove their soft skills in things such as problem
solving, stronger work ethic, communication and
making change. During these workshops students
were able to witness how not to conduct yourself
during an interview, do a mock interview them-
selves, learn how to communicate better with their
peers, discovered ways to easily solve problems,
and how to count change back.
