Ohio Farm Bureau is teaming with Ohio FFA to offer Farm Bureau high school students a great leadership experience. We encourage you to check out Ohio’s Leadership Camp held at Camp Muskingum. FFA Camp Muskingum is located in Carroll County, on the banks of Leesville Lake.

The conference focuses on the development of the individual student. Students will be challenged to push the limits in their leadership. Students must be in high school to apply.
