Closing Slideshow

The closing slideshow from this year is now available! Instead of creating a bunch of slideshow DVDs and shipping them individually (very time consuming and expensive to mail), we have decided to instead implement a “donors only section” of the website that contains the slideshow, unseen pictures, small group skit videos, and other exclusive media. To access this section of the website, please donate $10-20 to the Howard Eberts DECA Camp Scholarship Fund which will help send more students to camp in the future.

To see the closing slideshow and more, go to the Donate section now.

New Website

We recently updated our website and there are a few exciting changes that you should know about. In an effort to help campers, Youth Staff, and advisors stay connected to friends before and after camp, we integrated a lot of things with Facebook and our fan page.  Other than a sleek redesigned look, here are some other features on the new decacamp.org:

  1. Log in using Facebook – making it easy to like and comment on stories, pages, and updates throughout the site just by using your existing Facebook account.
  2. Pictures and video – both integrated through our Facebook fan page, become a fan here to tag yourself and friends.  You can also upload images yourself in our media section
  3. Youth Staff application – there is now an online application in addition to a PDF form you can download
  4. Stories – write about your own experiences at camp or read and respond to others (link on bottom right menu)

Ohio DECA Summer Leadership Retreat 2011

The Ohio DECA Summer Leadership Retreat, or simply known as DECA Camp, is a four day excursion in which attendees are paired with other DECA members from across the state in a small group led by a Youth Staff member, a recent camp alumni and graduate.

The Summer Leadership Retreat (SLR) is designed to build a camper’s leadership skills through various small group activities, teamwork exercises, co-initiative small ropes course, inspirational speakers, mock competition, informational workshops, and social events. As the first major event of the year, DECA Camp provides the tools and motivation necessary to be a success in DECA throughout the year.

For 36 years, the goal of the SLR has been to provide the opportunity for Ohio DECA members to develop essential skills needed for their future endeavors in Marketing Education and DECA in a fun, relaxed, social environment.
