ni '1- junior achievement' High school counselors have High times at High Trails By the time most students reach high school, they are conditioned to being the student, therefore, when thirty-six Ram- part sophomores, juniors, and seniors at- tend High Trails as counselors many found it hard to convert to the role of educator. Each fall local sixth graders and high school students leave for High Trails, in Florissant, for a week of outdoor educa- tion. Some students attended because they heard it was fun, and others because it was so fun when they were in sixth grade that they wanted to go back as a counselor. Most students didn't have any prob- lem making up missed assignments, however, some didn't plan ahead and found it hard to catchup. jeff Belden said, It was definitely worth missing a week of school. To become counselors, interested stu- dents filled out an application. Selections were made from teacher recommenda- tions, grades, and the applications. The counselors helped with various activities such as making candles, apple cider, and biscuits. Counselors also led different discovery groups ranging from Indians to Homesteaders to a Time Ma- chine. Mike Scheer felt that the craft making during the all-day activities was the most fun. He also enjoyed learning to communicate with younger children. Brian Duke said that it was a learning experience for him as well as for the children, and that most of the kids were pretty cool. High Trails is an outstanding oppor- tunity for students to earn half a credit while developing maturity, learning re- sponsibility, and acquiring leadership skills, said Mrs. Kadlecek, the high school coordinator.
