THE BETTER TOGETHER ANNUAL CONFERENCE
The TN/KY Section hosts a Sectional (conference) each year in February or March. This provides a great environment to gather for collaboration and sharing. Our Sectional is designed to be affordable, because the more camps we have represented the better we know how to offer a thoroughly worthwhile event. Having camps from all over our two states enriches the time we have together.
We want you to be included in 2026!
