State Greenhand Leadership Conference

The end of June can only mean one thing for Minnesota FFA, STATE GREENHAND LEADERSHIP CONFERENCE! Over the last week, 140 freshmen (almost sophomores really) joined us up north near Hackensack, MN for SGLC. The theme this year was "Go for the Gold" in honor of the upcoming Olympics. We spent some time learning new tools in sessions, getting our outdoor exercise (and mosquito bites) during rec time, and meeting many exciting members from around the state! There were the standby moments of camp like singing embarrassing songs to get mail, playing volleyball in the tournament (we were knocked out by Jake's team in the second round), and spending some quiet time during reflections. We also had some moments that made this camp truly a stand out like the amazing fiddle playing by Mr. Ryan Bart, and an exciting musical tribute to the Backstreet Boys, as well as learning MN FFA's new favorite dance song - Love, Liberty, and Disco.

Since the theme was Olympics, all of our cabins were named after countries and all of our small groups were named for events. I must say spending time with my rooms (we were England!) and my small group (Archery) were my highlights of the week!
Here is a quick video of all the girls from England sharing their favorite camp moments. Unfortunately it is sideways and I can't change it.




Thank you to everyone for a great week and I can't wait to see all of you during the rest of the year! SLCCL has a few more openings, see you in a few weeks!
