On the 14th-16th of June the Roskill South Youth Leadership Group held our annual retreat. This year the retreat was held at Huia Lodge set in the idilic Waikatere Rangers. The Weekend involved a mix of leadership development and social activities. On Saturday morning we had Jono Bell with us as a guest facilitator who helped us process the strengths and challenges of our group and its connection to our community. This lead to a river crossing exercise aimed at developing the unity and direction of the group. After a Saturday night of attempting to catch our dinner fishing at a local wharf we finished our camp with one last morning session. The aim to be honest with each other about our individual challenges and how we can help each other. The overall reflection of this retreat was positive and leaders have returned to the normal grind of life more resilient to the challenges they face and are working hard to empower other young people in their community through projects like Boys Rally.
