North Union FFA Chapter Attends Summer Camp Richwood, OH – Fifteen members of the North Union FFA Chapter recently attended FFA Camp in Carrolton, Ohio. FFA Camp is held each summer for Ohio FFA members and encourages students to develop their potential for premier leadership, personal growth, and career success. The current state officer team, summer program staff, and camp staff joined together to provide an opportunity to meet members from chapters across the state.
During the week, campers participated in basketball, soccer, water polo, table tennis, shotgun and rifle range competition, and other tournaments; attended state officer led leadership sessions, workshops and campfires; and enjoyed swimming, canoeing and motor boating on Leesville Lake. Staff members led campers through Adventure Valley, a ground initiative course designed to promote teamwork, communication and trust. Advanced campers participated in overnighter activities and the high ropes course. Campers raised money during the week to put a "Pie-In-The-Eye" of their favorite advisor, state officer, or staff member with all proceeds going to Children’s Hospital. North Union FFA members attending camp included Tyne Powers, Alicia Price, Devan LeMaster, McKenzie McElroy, Rebecca Smith, Robert Bevis, Autumn Bumgarner, Valerie Matteson, James Anderson, Jill Goddard, Harley Jerew, Matt Ross, Isaac Oman, Kayleen Faine, and Kyle Gravatt. |
