FCCLA Fall Boot Camp II is designed for FCCLA advisers that are ready to move beyond the basics of having a chapter and want to gain knowledge and skills to assist members with national programs and competitions. This opportunity will be helpful to any adviser that has been enrolled in Boot Camp I in the past. This 1-1/2 day session is also beneficial for advisers with any degree of advising experience that have a desire to be a more involved and inviting chapter within the school setting of FCS classes, chapter meetings and state events. You will also take a look at ways to gain national recognition for the chapter and members. Attendees will leave with a variety of resource materials. As in fall of 2021, special attention will be given to culinary programs through a breakout session on integrating FCCLA programs and competitions, even for culinary instructors with little or no FCCLA background. We have some Virginia FCCLA culinary programs with national level competitive winners in their first year of an affiliated chapter! Congrats to them!
October 2-3, 2022 Waynesboro, VA Best Western Hotel & Conference Center
The session begins at 4:30pm on Sunday and concludes at 3:30pm on Monday
