Sponsored by the Ohio Forestry Association, this weeklong camp for high school students explores many branches of forest ecology including silviculture, tree identification, wildlife and forestry management, and forest products.

Special evening programs are planned for social as well as academic value. There’s fun for everyone, plus college scholarship and career interest opportunities.
