2012 Sets Another Record for Oswegatchie Camp

The 2012 summer camp season at the Oswegatchie Educational Center was the biggest ever held at the camp! Over the course of 5 weeks, 768 campers joined us for our 5 day program. 

We would like to thank all of our FFA and Non-FFA friends who joined us at the camp! 

For a little bit of history, Oswegatchie's enrollment was at 314 kids in 1999. Times had been tough for many camps, and Oswegatchie was no exception! Through a lot of hard work and sacrifice, we were able to build up enough resources and abilities to finally grow Oswegatchie into something sustainable! Despite 50 years in existence, the future was not guaranteed!

We would like to thank every single camper, parent, teacher, FFA advisor, alumni, and staff member that did their part to make a difference in the last 13 years. All of the support has made a major difference! The numbers prove it!
