Texas Pork Leadership Camp for

4-H & FFA Students

Sponsored by:

Texas Pork Producers Association and Texas AgriLife Extension

This is a unique opportunity for 4-H and FFA students that have an interest in swine projects and want to get to know more about the pork industry.  The camp is a traveling bus tour with visits at key industry locations for six-teen (16) students and the chaperons.  This camp is not like any other camp; it starts in Amarillo, TX, travels through the Texas Panhandle stopping at several locations; travels to the state of Iowa and visits several sites throughout Texas and part of Oklahoma. Please review the Application and Schedule.
