“When somebody asked me what I wanted to do after high school, I didn’t have an answer until I got involved with Glenn County RCD and attended Range Camp. Now I know my future.”

-Kennith Wharton, Class of 2017, Orland High School

“My experience working with RCD through the Hospitality Program went pretty well! I learned a lot of office skills and working with people.”

-Lukas Nygard, Class of 2014, Willows High School

“Working at the RCD has been a lot of fun mixed with learning. We learned many useful office skills, such as filing and copying. It’s always a fun atmosphere here. I also enjoyed helping with their activities, such as the Run Your Tail Off… 5K/10K. I enjoyed my time here very much and wish I could have spent a longer period of time training.”
