It is not possible to experience all that Waycross/Ware County has to offer during your “days” in Leadership Waycross. Toward that end each year a number of extracurricular activities are planned in an effort to enhance your Leadership Waycross experience. Some activities are completed on an individual basis, and some are scheduled as a class activity. All extracurricular activities are optional, but, we hope that you will take advantage of as many as possible. These activities will offer you additional insight into your community. The class member completing the most extracurricular activities will be recognized at graduation.
