Camp
Canopy Registration is Open for 2019
COLUMBUS, OH – Registration is now open for the popular Camp Canopy,
which runs from June 9-14, according to the Ohio Department of Natural
Resources (ODNR).
Coordinators for Camp Canopy are developing brand-new classes and new
adventure-themed recreational activities, in addition to the
traditional learning topics and fun activities from previous years,
according to Jeremy Scherf, camp co-director and service forester with
the ODNR Division of Forestry. Topics for Camp Canopy this year include
tree identification, wildlife management, silviculture and invasive
species.
“This year’s camp is going to be better than ever,” said Scherf. “We
are excited to share new knowledge and outdoor skills with the
students, focusing on the wonders of forests and wildlife in Ohio.”
Students who have completed the eighth grade through high school
seniors graduating the year of camp are invited to attend Camp Canopy,
which was previously known as the Ohio Forestry and Wildlife
Conservation Camp. The camp will be held at FFA Camp Muskingum on
Leesville Lake in Carroll County.
