FFA members attend Leadership Camp

The Eufaula FFA chapter was represented at the 51st annual Oklahoma FFA Alumni Leadership Camp, held recently at the Cedar Hills Baptist Youth Camp in Binger.

For the first time in 40 years, the event was hosted at a new location. In the past it has been held in Wagoner.

Eufaula members who attended included Kaden Atwood, Maverick Hugg, Bethany Phelan, Nickie Horton, Codi Leeper, Tyse Buck, Kadie Tidwell, Shayleigh Johnson and Hannah Rainwater.

This year’s camp, themed “Linked: Communicate to Connect,” was designed to engage FFA members in a series of fun and actionpacked activities aimed at developing intra-personal, familial and clear communication skills.

Special presenters at the camp included kickoff speaker Bill Cordes from Kansas, and keynote speaker Brad Barton from Utah.

The Oklahoma FFA Alumni Association sponsors the leadership camp, with generous financial backing from corporate sponsors such as the Oklahoma Farm Bureau, NextEra Energy, Trusted Choice Insurance Agents, Amazon, Public Service Company of Oklahoma, Cherokee Nation and P and K Equipment.

The FFA and FFA Alumni are an integral part of the agricultural education division within the Oklahoma CareerTech System. The Oklahoma FFA Alumni Association’s primary goal is to create a robust, effective statewide organization to promote, serve, and support agricultural education and the FFA.
