Grade 9 and 10 students from Summerland Secondary School took part in a recent youth leadership retreat in Westbank.

The retreat, sponsored by the Summerland Rotary Club, Penny Lane Bargain Outlet and Summerland Asset Development Initiative, was held at Green Bay Camp.

Kim Wise, a teacher at the high school, said the retreat featured workshops on self-awareness, team building, cooperation and anti-bullying.
