For over 40 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 9th-12th)<\/em> on the campus of Virginia Tech. The program brings together about 70 interested students for a week of learning about Virginia\u2019s natural resources from conservation professionals and faculty from Virginia Tech. Most of the instruction is hands-on and outdoors.<\/p>\n

Please fill out this application (2026-Camper-Application_VASWCD<\/a> ) by April 17th and submit it to Jessie.Freeland@lswcd.org<\/a> or mail your application to our Leesburg office.<\/p>\n
