Through These Doors Pass Many Friends of the FFA

"Legendary View...Happy Campers...Oswegatchie Magic"

In 1946 The New York FFA Foundation purchased 1200 acres in Lewis County. On the land sat a lodge that was built in 1872 as a lumberjack hotel. Since 1946 more than 100,000 campers have passed through the doors of Widrick Lodge for nutritious meals and fellowship. Today, the needs of Oswegatchie are changing and we have a once in a lifetime opportunity to secure the future of our camp. Please consider joining this campaign as a donor and/or volunteer.  With the awarding of a grant from the State of New York, Oswegatchie has reached 65% of the funds needed to construct a new dining hall and kitchen. We are kicking off this capital campaign to raise the remaining balance of $1,000,000. Click here for FAQ.

"One of my greatest joys of my career in Agriculture Education in NYS has been my opportunity to serve as a director on the NY FFA Foundation board. I am proud to be associated with the tremendous success of the past 15 years. The awarding of a $2 Million grant from the State of New York to construct a new kitchen will ensure a sustainable future for Oswegatchie. We must use this as an opportunity to be bold. Please join me in pledging a financial gift."
