Earlier this month, the Pella FFA conducted their first annual camping trip. On June 10th and 11th, the Pella FFA chapter took 13 members to Diamond Lake Campground in Montezuma. While there, members were able to participate in a fishing competition, camping, yard games, a bonfire, and made their own meals, including ice cream.

“It was nice spending time with the others and getting to know one and other, also just sitting around the campfire really late at night and talking was fun,” said junior Shaela Van Wyk.

This trip was planned by FFA Chaplain Sophia Geetings with the goal to conduct an activity that exposed FFA members to the preservation of natural resources, and push for more environmentally responsible individuals.
