GLENDALE -- A group of local high school students are gearing up to
attend "boot camp" for the American Red Cross.
Five teens from Glendale and Crescenta Valley high schools who have
put in at least 15 months volunteering for the Red Cross's
Glendale-Crescenta Valley Chapter will attend the weeklong camp that
starts Saturday. The Leadership Development Center camp is held in
Yucaipa.
"The camp will help mold and shape the characteristics needed in
crisis situations," spokeswoman Lysa Barry said. "It's a week of boot
camp."
Activities will include how to work effectively in groups and
providing aid, Barry said.
Glendale High School delegates are Araceli Nava, Sonal Patel and Anna
Tam, with Jenny Ko and Janice Park from Crescenta Valley High School.
Students from both high schools will also attend as staff members.
Interested young people who have at least 15 months of volunteer
service for the group and can pay a $50 deposit must sign up to attend
the camp by Friday morning by calling 409-6804.
