Calling all homeschoolers! Spend your Fridays outdoors and earn your junior ranger badge. We'll be covering subjects such as zoology, mycology, Indigenous history, and geology. The camp will run the first four Fridays in October from 9 a.m. - 12 p.m. Each date, we will cover a different subject and participate in several hands-on activities. Activities may include hikes, group games, crafts, and more.

This is a day camp only; there are no overnight accommodations. The cost is $10 per day. Registration per day is required. To earn a junior ranger badge, campers must participate in at least two sessions. You are not required to sign up for all four dates.

Space is limited, so sign up today! To register, please email Megan.Goin@dcr.virginia.gov or call (540) 622-2262.

Parks are for everyone. Please let us know if you need special accommodations.
