Making memories at one of the oldest FFA summer camps in the nation!

It is summertime, and schools across the country may be out, but for some FFA members, that means it is time for camp.

Not every state has an FFA camp, but for the ones that do, they serve as a beloved place for many members.
One of those is Camp Clements, Tennessee FFA’s very own camp that has been around since 1927, right off the banks of the Caney Fork River.

Tennessee FFA State Secretary Abigail Whicker spoke with RFD-TV’s Jennifer Vickery Smith about the history of the camp, what campers will experience, and state officers’ roles in the summer fun.
