Last Call for James River Summer Camp Program

The deadline is fast approaching to register for a week-long summer camp for Virginia high school students interested in learning more about aquatics, forestry and soils in and around James River State Park.  A deposit of $75 is due April 28, 2008.

Students in grades 9 – 12 will spend the week of July 21 – 26 combining the science associated with a meaningful watershed experience and fun summer activities, such as canoeing, tubing, volleyball and more.  The $235 fee includes accommodations in James River State Park cabins, meals, supplies, recreational and instructional activities.

Called “A.L.I.V.E. by the James” (Adventures in Leadership through Investigation and Visitation in the Environment), the program is sponsored by Virginia Cooperative Extension – Buckingham, the Peter Francisco Soil & Water Conservation District and the Virginia Division of State Parks.  Additional information is available online at www.olddominionrcd.org; through Sherry Ragland at 434.983.4757 Ext. 4 or by contacting Ruth Wallace at 434.969.4261.
