Approximately 800 FFA members, state staff, advisors, and
state officers attended Camp
Clements last year. Camp
Clements is located near Doyle, TN
(south of Sparta, TN) on the beautiful banks of the Caney Fork River in the Van Buren County. The camp is owned and operated by the
Tennessee Association FFA.
The camp’s purpose coincides with the
FFA’s primary aims and purposes of developing skills in leadership development
classes, organized recreation, extemporaneous public speaking, program
planning, award programs, flag raising and lowering, and vespers.
Members
attending camp need to bring the following items: sheets & blankets for a
single bed, or a sleeping bag, pillow & pillow cases, every-day clothes,
athletic shorts, dress shoes (black for those members participating as
officers, in the FFA quiz contest, quiz bowl contest, and the extemporaneous
public speaking contest), swim wear, towels, soap, toiletries, pencils, pens,
paper, FFA manual, FFA student handbook, and official dress for officers,
public speakers, and creed contestants.
Members may also want to bring a softball glove, radio, and a camera.
There will be approximately 20 other chapters
attending camp the week we are there.
FFA members will be housed in air-conditioned cottages.
FFA members may wish to participate in
the following activities: canoeing, boating, fishing, rifle-range, ping pong,
pool, shuffleboard, basketball, volley ball, softball, rook, dominoes, and
swimming. There will be a chaperoned dance and a Talent Show as well. Nutritious meals will be served in a
spacious cafeteria. Campers may wish to
bring spending money for snacks, camp pictures, and meals on the way to and
from camp.
The cost for one week of camp is only
one hundred and eighty dollars ($200.00) which includes transportation, food
while at camp, housing, a camp t-shirt and a chapter t-shirt. Form and Deposit of $50 must be returned by Friday
