The Virginia Department of Forestry (DOF), in cooperation with other natural resource conservation agencies and organizations, has proudly administered Camp Woods and Wildlife (formerly called Holiday Lake Forestry Camp) for more than 70 years. Camp Woods and Wildlife is an academic, structured, residential camp that focuses on field experiences in forestry and other natural resources. This unique camping experience introduces 13-16-year-olds to the challenges, special skills, and knowledge needed for managing the forest resources we use and enjoy every day.
Camp Woods and Wildlife is ideal for students who:
wish to explore forestry and wildlife related careers
participate in forestry and wildlife judging teams, Envirothon competitions, or ecology clubs
want to experience hands-on learning and gain real-world skills in natural resources conservation
