Members of Polk County High School’s FFA chapter once again had an outstanding performance at the North Carolina FFA Camp Program, held in June at White Lake.

PCHS FFA had three teams competing in the annual camp. The Blue team placed first, earning the 13th camp banner for the school. PCHS White finished fourth while PCHS Silver placed sixth.

The camping program consisted of character-building, leadership and recreational activities. Each day began with students taking part in devotional, flag-raising ceremonies and calisthenics. Students then attended leadership sessions, where they enhanced their interpersonal skills.

Campers then participated in competitive events, including water sports (swimming, canoeing, water ball), basketball, volleyball, softball, horseshoes, shuffleboard, checkers and table tennis. All activities were based on a point system, and the team with the most points at the end of the week was declared the winner.
