4-H and FFA News

Students from the Urbana FFA chapter attended FFA Camp Muskingum in Carrollton for five days in June. The students that attended were Cheyenne Gunsaulies, Lukas Bishop, Sierra Ross, Christine Evilsizor, and Kelsey Quickle. The students learned about leadership, communication, and teamwork. Each of the students participated in several team challenges and games to help build relationships with other students and how to work together accordingly. Each activity was hands-on and unique in their own way. Each of the students had their own positive comment about the camp that week. “It was truly a different experience, something I won’t forget and I’ll definitely be going next year,” says Cheyenne. Sierra says, “We had to work a lot with our assigned camp team members and it really helped build relationships.” Talking with other students from around the state opened them up to different experiences and communication they never thought they would have.
