ADDITIONAL INFO
This is the perfect camp for students who love nature and want
to know more about conservation and the environment. Students who attend Nature Camp discover the joy of learning both independently and in groups through its hands-on teaching approach.
Selected campers will be required to attend daily classes and to maintain a notebook. They will participate in outdoor activities in all types of weather.
Scholarships from five local organizations are for students currently in 5th – 12th grades.
The two-week camp is nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Rockbridge County, Vesuvius, VA. For more about Nature Camp visit www.naturecamp.net
Nature Camp Scholarships are made possible by our chapter's Annual Native Plant Sale held in the spring, and by generous member donations.
