2010 National Explorer Conference
ATLANTA, GEORGIA - In July, we completed our trip to Atlanta, GA for the 2010 Nationals. Brandon Zusy, Jason Onken, Chance Duenkel, Danielle Christl, Tyler Krueger and Michael Kolbach all attended the event and each one of them learned a great deal in the process. This is a great learning experience for these future law enforcement professionals.
Brandon, Jason and Chance competed in Emergency Field First Aid and Burglary in Progress. Danielle, Tyler and Michael competed in Traffic Stops and Crime Scene. While our teams did not win any trophies in the team competitions, Jason Onken did have the highest written examination score, out of several hundred explorers who took the test. Jason received a custom coin from the US Park Service for his efforts.
The explorers also participated in events such as the Team Drill Competition, Air Pistol Competition, Police Biking Competition, Volleyball and the Non-emergency Vehicle Operations Course.
While in Atlanta, we took advantage of using the MARTA system to get around. During our extra time, we took in Altanta sites including Varsity, the World of Coca-Cola, the Georgia Aquarium, Underground Atlanta, and the Georgia State Capital.
The Explorer Post was able to off set the cost of the trip, so that it cost each Explorer approximately $225 to attend. The was made possible through donations from the supporters listed below as well as fund-raising activities such as our t-shirt sale. Please continue to support those businesses who support us.
While at the conference, it was announced that the 2012 National Conference would once again be held at Colorado State University. If you could not make it this year, mark your calendars for 2012. Our goal is to take 12 explorers to the 2012 conference.
