Zoey Smith of St. James, an eighth-grader at Mountain Lake Christian (MLC) attended the Speak2compete Summer Speech Experience 2016 this past June. Zoey is a member of the MLC Speech Team. The team’s coach is Kim Friesen.

The camp was held at South Dakota State University (SDSU) in Brookings, South Dakota. The camp coaches were Kristofer Kracht and Cadi Kadlecek.

Smith noted that the experience was valuable, helping build her confidence in speaking and maintaining her enthusiasm. She read many scripts and pieces of literature, with her area of emphasis being Serious Drama. She participated in vocal warm-ups and many group-bonding and drama activities.

At the camp, Smith was presented the “Spirit Awar,” and is anxious for the 2017 speech season to get underway.
