Re: The Most Excellent FFA Camp in the Northeast!
 
The Oswegatchie FFA Summer Camp has been putting together a Tool Box that teachers can use to get more students to Oswegatchie this summer. Much of our success depends on the excitement of teachers and the enrollment of campers. We are here to support you and everything you do. The NY FFA not only has a legacy of great students, but we also have a great place in the Adirondacks!
 
Remember…                                                              
 
… We are the only FFA Camp in New York and New England!
 
… We are excellent for younger students and its a great way to get them excited about the FFA.
 
… Oswegatchie is a great introduction to your agricultural program and the FFA.
 
… Non-FFA students from your school can have the FFA price when they go to camp.
 
… Recruit outside your ag classes.
 
… Oswegatchie is a great way to get students in your classes. If they want to be in the FFA, they need to be enrolled in your ag classes.
 
… Oswegatchie is an excellent gateway to the larger FFA leadership spectrum.
 
… We do a great job of blending leadership training, environmental education, and outdoor recreation.
 
Inside the Tool Box

Our Teacher’s Page
This page has 3 tutorials and a warm fuzzy “why” FFA Advisors bring kids to camp.  If you are new to the Oswegatchie Nation, I suggest checking this out.

Youtube has over 100 Oswegatchie videos…
 
Brochures
Our physical brochure is a great way to share the possibilities of Oswegatchie with your students. 16 pages of camp content help get them interested. I can send you brochures at anytime. Email me at wwaite@oswegatchie.org and I will send you a care package ASAP.
 
Digital Brochure
Our summer camp brochure is available digitally as a PDF.
 
Full Color Flyers
Use our printed flyers to promote outside your Ag classes. Email me and I can drop them in the mail to you.

Flyer PDFs
These PDFs are easily printed and used to cover the large groups. These are different then our nice print flyers. http://www.oswegatchiecamp.com/in-school-flyers.html
 
In closing, I would enjoy talking to any teacher about getting kids to camp. If you are new to teaching, Oswegatchie can be an intimidating step. Trust me, It will make the rest of your teaching experience better.

    Chance Favors the Prepared Mind!

    This blog is intended to share the important details that only experienced campers know. Everything from cell phones, swimsuits, and horses will be covered! 

    Oswegatchie is a TEEN camp! It takes more maturity and responsibility than younger campers may be ready to assume. Hopefully this blog will help you make sure camp is the right fit for each individual camper. We want everyone to have a great camp experience, but the old adage "Chance Favors the Prepared Mind" is very true. Do your part and make sure Oswegatchie is the right place!
