For 34
years, the Virginia Association of Soil and Water Conservation Districts
has sponsored a week long summer conservation camp for Virginia high school
students (currently enrolled in grades 9-12) on the campus of
Virginia Tech. The program brings together about 70 interested students for
a week of learning about Virginia's natural resources from conservation
professionals and faculty from Virginia Tech. Most of the instruction is
hands-on and outdoors.
