Summer Leadership Camp

FFA-FCCLA Summer Leadership Camp is a week-long event for FFA and FCCLA members from all over Georgia. The purpose of the camp is to develop leadership, teamwork, and sportsmanship in FFA and FCCLA students.

 

2007 Summer Leadership Camp Recap:

Over 1250 FFA and FCCLA campers participated in Summer Leadership Camp in 2007. The theme of camp was "You Can't Finish If You Never Get Started."

 

 

Leadership and teamwork are central themes of camp. Students had Team Time, where they participated in team-building initiatives to help them get to know each other better and learn team concepts. Students also utilized the teambuilding elements on the Georgia FFA-FCCLA Center Leadership Course. The new Team Captain Program debut was very successful, as students stepped into more leadership to help campers get the most out of the camp experience.

 

Assemblies included talent shows, staff skits, and plenty of fun. Teams competed in the "Amazing Race" challenges. After the assemblies, there was a dance each night of camp.

 

 

 

On Monday evening, students enjoyed Monday Night Madness. The games included cricket spit, car cram, bobbing for veggies, hop relay, and a watermelon eating contest. At then end of the evening, everyone enjoyed the new "mega slide," which turned out to be huge hit!

 

One of the largest parts of Summer Leadership Camp is the Team of the Week competition. Throughout the week, teams earn points by competing in various events. At the end of the week, the team with the most points earns the title "Team of the Week." Competitions this year included softball, volleyball, swim meet, 4x100 relay, tennis, miniature golf, ping pong, basketball, crafts, canoe race, fishing tournament, skeet shooting, archery, and .22 rifle shooting, and more.

 

Of course, students enjoyed some free time as well. During free time, campers enjoyed activities such as horseback riding, swimming, canoeing, paddleboating, craft shop, miniature golf, ping pong, or just relaxing in the shade.

 

 

 

On the last night of camp, students competed in the obstacle course. The obstacle course was challenging, wet, and muddy! The annual highlight of the course is the slippery pipe traverse over a mud pit!

 

2007 Summer Leadership Camp was a success, thanks to all of the great students, advisors, and summer staff. We hope that everyone will come back again next year, and we hope that we will see lots of new faces in 2008!
