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".
Planning is underway for our 22nd Annual Leadership Summit!
Save the Dates: April 14-17, 2027 - Find out how you can help!
More than 72 volunteers and 92 students from 10 schools gathered for the 21st Annual FBA Leadership Summit at Circle F Dude Ranch Camp in Lake Wales, Florida in April. Over two and a half days, students, instructors, industry partners, alumni, and volunteers worked side-by-side in a hands-on construction environment while building confidence, teamwork, and leadership skills.
The featured project was a new head counselors’ cabin, which gave students hands-on experiences in multiple trades, including framing, roofing, plumbing, electrical, septic tanks, and finishing. Students also participated in classes focused on landscaping, masonry, carpentry, screens, swimming pools, welding and other construction-related skills.
Beyond the jobsite, students took part in leadership and team-building activities and the famous cardboard boat races, strengthening communication, problem-solving, and collaboration.
Thank you to ALL of our volunteers, instructors, schools, sponsors, alumni members, and industry partners who made the 21st Annual Leadership Summit possible.
Stay tuned for updates on this year's projects as we start planning for 2027!!
