COVINGTON, Ga. —
Colquitt County was well represented as 89 students from the Colquitt County chapter were part of more than 1,800 students who attended FFA-FCCLA Summer Leadership Camp 2010 at the Georgia FFA-FCCLA Center in Covington.
Summer Leadership Camp was a week filled with activities and leadership opportunities. Camp activities included volleyball, softball, a swim meet, a fishing tournament, skeet and archery shooting, talent show, low ropes course, climbing wall, zip line, and much more. On the last night of camp, students participated in an obstacle course, highlighted by the challenge of traversing a slippery pipe suspended over a mud pit.
The theme for Summer Leadership Camp 2010 was "Make Your Mark," challenging students not to leave their name on a wall, but to make a lasting mark by reaching out to change someone's life.
The advisors from Colquitt County attending camp included Ginger Hunnicutt, Lisa Johnson, Donna Blalock, Kristy McLean, Stephanie Summerlin, Matt Howell, Shaun Collins and Stacy Beacham.
“Summer Leadership Camp is about teaching students various tools of success while they have the time of their life,” Camp Director Todd Teasley said. “The teachers and staff invest so much time to make sure these youth have an experience that they will never forget.”
The Georgia FFA-FCCLA Center is located near Covington, on the banks of Lake Jackson.
