Afton Central School District

Afton FFA Returns from Camp Oswegatchie!


The Afton FFA had an incredible week at Camp Oswegatchie, wrapping up six days and five nights filled with leadership, outdoor adventure, friendship, and unforgettable memories.

Did you know that Afton FFA is the third oldest FFA chapter in New York state, chartered in 1929? Camp Oswegatchie was founded in 1946, and Afton FFA has proudly been sending campers there ever since. That's nearly 80 years of tradition!

One of our campers, Michelle P., made this year's camp experience even more special by sharing a piece of Afton FFA history with her fellow campers. She brought her grandfather's original "Afton Aggie" membership from his time in FFA, giving everyone a glimpse into the rich legacy of our chapter and the generations of members who came before us.

We are especially proud to recognize Connor, Emma, and Michelle, who received Leadership Awards during the camp awards banquet. Their positive attitudes, leadership, and dedication made Afton FFA proud throughout the week. Congratulations to these students on this well-deserved honor!

Camp Oswegatchie continues to be one of the most rewarding experiences available to our members, providing opportunities to build leadership skills, develop lifelong friendships, and create memories that last a lifetime.

If you are interested in having your student attend Camp Oswegatchie next summer, please reach out to Cat Reeder, Afton FFA Advisor, for more information. We'd love to help your student become part of this long-standing Afton FFA tradition!

Afton FFA Has a Busy Weekend of Service


Afton FFA members spent the weekend giving back to the community through service and outreach at the Chenango County Fairgrounds.

On Friday, members joined FFA chapters from across Chenango County to help prepare the fairgrounds by weeding and mulching the community garden. Their hard work helped create a welcoming space for visitors while supporting the fairgrounds and promoting teamwork among local FFA chapters.

Then, on Saturday, Afton FFA participated in Dairy Day at the Chenango County Fairgrounds. Students welcomed families by distributing fresh produce, including peaches, nectarines, and yellow squash. Visitors also enjoyed complimentary lemonade, iced tea, and bottled water to stay refreshed throughout the event.

One of the most popular attractions at the Afton FFA booth was free face painting, where members transformed children into colorful creations and helped make the day even more memorable. Through their volunteer efforts, students promoted healthy living, agricultural awareness, and community engagement while representing Afton FFA with pride.
