ALLIANCE, Ohio — Members of the Marlington FFA Chapter traveled to Ohio FFA Camp Muskingum in Carrollton, Ohio June 22-25.
Selected from the chapter were two of the 2012-2013 FFA officers; vice president, sophomore Staci Faverty, and student advisor, junior Megan Conrad. The members were able to attend thanks to the Stark County Farm Bureau, Nationwide Insurance and the Marlington FFA Alumni & Friends who provided scholarships to the camp.
At the camp members focused on leadership skills and team building techniques. While attending the camp they were encouraged to participate in team sports, lake activities, shooting sports and hikes in the woods. Marlington members were able to interact and learn from the National FFA officers who traveled in for the camp.
Faverty and Conrad will bring back their newly gained knowledge to the entire Marlington FFA officer team during the summer officer retreat.
