YLP TOASTMASTER’S PUBLIC SPEAKING CAMP DETAILS & RSVP

HAPPY JULY!

We are super excited to start jumping into our July 2021 activities and wanted to pass on the details of our Youth Leadership Program (YLP) Toastmaster’s Public Speaking Camp with you!  This experience is a truly fun one – this is the one camp where we actually ask parents to drop off their kids, the event is facilitated by youth who have been through the course for at least 3-4 years, the County Extension Agents, and a Toastmaster’s Volunteer.  If you have any questions or need help with transportation, please let Mellanie know 🙂

OVERVIEW:

• This is a 3-day Public Speaking Camp that combines some of our favorite 4-H public speaking activities with the Toastmaster’s method and expertise!
• Youth will work together to learn how to give constructive feedback, learn the basics of public speaking, as well as prepare (and deliver!) 3 different types of speeches
  • 2 of the speeches are pretty simple – the first will be introducing themselves to the group, the second will be a surprise!
  • the 3rd speech will be a short, inspirational speech that will be delivered at the graduation ceremony
• This year, we are going to be hosting the camp at a Travis County Facility (around the Manor area)

COST & RSVP INFO:

• The camp is FREE for all of our Bastrop County 4-H & Travis County 4-H Members to participate in!
• We will limit the experience to the first 20 people to sign up
• Please RSVP online at https://bit.ly/21YLPCamp by 12:00 Noon on Monday, July 12, 2021, to allow us time to order snacks, refreshments, and materials!
