The 2026 Camp Woods & Wildlife application process is now open. The deadline to apply is April 15, 2026.

Camp Woods & Wildlife is scheduled for June 15-19, 2026 at Holiday Lake 4-H Center near Appomattox.

The camp is hosted by the Virginia Department of Forestry, with support from other natural resource professionals.

Camp is open to any Virginia resident in grades 7-10 who have not attended before and are interested in exploring natural resource careers. The program features hands-on, field-based learning on the Appomattox-Buckingham State Forest. Thanks to generous donations, each camper pays only $95 to attend this 5-day residential camp.
