This year We have decided to carry our FFA Officer team to a nearby (well 3 hour trip) campground. Monday - Thursday next week. We hope to build leadership skills, develop team building skills and allow the 7 officers time to bond into a family. Girls will be in a cabin & guys will be in a TT & my 5th wheel. We have 2 female chaperones for a total of 11 of us. Ages are 14-17. Can't wait.

Sounds like a fun, and interesting, trip. Here's to hoping you have great weather.

I went to 4-H camp - poor chaperones! :)Have a blast!

I went to a Church Summer Camp for 2 weeks.......had so much 'FUN' went again the next year :BJust remember to 'HYDRATE'

Have fun! I was an FFA officer for three years way back in H.S. What a great time I had! I also was on the parly pro team. We were state champs in Florida my junior year! We even raised a pig one year near the football field. This was a big deal for us as we were a "city folk" chapter so to speak. :) I wish I still had my FFA jacket.

Our son was a FL state officer 1997-98. What a great experience it was for him. He's still in touch with some of the team. Have a fruitful and great time.

That's exactly when I was as well! :) I graduated in 1990 from the Clearwater area. Small world.

Yes - small world, indeed. He graduated from Lakeland High School in 1997 and served that following year. Y'all must've been at some of the same events.

I see the forecast is heat index 106-110 next week. Plenty of bottled water already purchased.

We actually won the state Meat Evaluation CDE this year and will be heading to the National FFA Convention in October.
