October 7-9, 2025 at Chippokes State Park in Surry County, VA.
Join us for a 3day/2night professional learning experience. If you teach history to any k-12 Virginia student, you qualify to apply. All public, independent, and homeschool educators are encouraged to apply. All food, lodging, activities, and materials while at the session are provided. We will eat, sleep, and learn at Chippokes State Park located in Surry County, VA near Jamestown, VA. You'll see a side of Chippokes many never do. We will walk or roll across plantation roads, sleep in historic buildings, and likely get our feet and hands muddy too. If you love history and the outdoors, this is a perfect match for you!
Applications are due no later than September 5, 2025. Accepted applications will be notified by September 8, 2025.
Contact us at EnvironmentalEducation@dcr.virginia.gov. We look forward to working with you.
