The 2000 youth conference was again held at the FFA Camp in Covington, Georgia, from July 24-26. Thirty-eight young people from across the state attended the camp and were introduced to the cooperative business process in addition to having a lot of fun.
The agenda included the cooperative business game, in which the participants make decisions on their business in an effort to be the most successful in the group. Other games included a "Who Wants to be a Cooperative Millionaire" and an internet Scavenger Hunt. Each attendee fully participated in each of these activities.
