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.
Leadership
and Teamwork
Leadership and teamwork are central themes of camp. Students
have Team Time, where they participate in team-building initiatives
to help them get to know each other better and learn team concepts
such as trust and communication. Students also utilize the teambuilding
elements on the Georgia FFA-FCCLA Center Leadership Course. There
is a Team Captain program that is designed for the students who
are ready for more leadership and responsibility to help other
campers get the most out of the camp experience.
Assemblies
Assemblies include talent shows, staff skits, and lots of
fun. Teams compete in evening challenges that are always messy
and wild! After the assemblies, there is a dance each night of
camp. There is always a special event during camp. The event is
different each year, but might include a hypnotist performance
or extreme games.
Team
of the Week
One of the large 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 may 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.
Free
Time
Of course, students enjoy free time as well. During free time,
campers can enjoy activities such as horseback riding, swimming,
canoeing, paddleboating, craft shop, miniature golf, ping pong,
or just relaxing in the shade.
Adventure
A major part of coming to SLC is to experience new
things. The Mega Slide provides a great rush while cooling off
campers on hot summer days. The High Ropes Course includes a 40
ft climbing wall and a zip line!
Obstacle
Course
On the last night of camp, students compete in the obstacle
course. The obstacle course is challenging, wet, and muddy! The
annual highlight of the course is the slippery pipe traverse over
a mud pit!
