MoCo FFA Attends Summer Leadership Camp

This summer, twentyeight students from the Montgomery County Middle and High Future Farmers of America (FFA) Chapters attended Summer Leadership Camp (SLC) at the Georgia FFA-FCCLA Center in Covington, on the banks of Jackson Lake with other FFA members from across the state of Georgia.

During their week of camp, they participated in a leadership program designed to build relationships, develop teamwork and leadership attributes, and of course have a great time! They competed in team competitions such as softball and volleyball, and they also competed in individual events such as ping pong, cornhole, crafts, speech contest, and an essay contest. There were many fun camp activities such as a blob and swimming. The last day of camp is highlighted by one final team event – the dodgeball tournament!

Our students won several individual competitions and the boys’ cabin won the Team of the Week award during Week 4 of Summer Leadership Camp. This year’s Summer Leadership Camp embraced the theme FEARLESS, inspiring campers to push beyond their fears and confidently pursue their dreams. Through this theme, we hope campers were encouraged to step outside their comfort zones, embrace new challenges, and discover their

true potential. “Summer Leadership Camp is a unique experience for students that is full of memorable activities and real leadership development. One of the best aspects of camp is that some of the best teachers in the state spend a week with these students and truly invest in them to make a difference in their lives,” remarked Camp Manager Russel Towns.
