ABOUT
Future Builders of America hosted its first Leadership Camp in 2004 at the FFA facility in Haines City, Florida. Just seven students attended the first event but it was such a success that five of the original seven students returned the following year, and they brought friends. Through the dedication and hard work of the camp committee, countless volunteers, donors and FHBA’s own inspirational staff, the Leadership Camp has grown since its inception in both quantity of students and quality of programs. In 2016, the event was renamed to the "Leadership Summit".
It's a wrap for the 2022 Leadership Summit!
What a GREAT Leadership Summit this year!!! Congratulations to all of our students from doing such a great job at the Summit. Many THANKS to all of our volunteers and sponsors too! We could NOT do this without you!
