Licking Soil and Water is now offering a scholarship for one Licking Heights high schooler to attend Camp Canopy!
Camp Canopy is a one-of-a-kind summer camp, located in Carrollton, Ohio, for students interested in forestry, wildlife, conservation, ecology, and other natural resource fields. It is a week-long, co-ed residential camp open to high school students entering their freshman year up through graduating seniors.
Supported by the Ohio Forestry Association, the camp offers a mixture of educational sessions with traditional camp activities and adventures. All educational sessions are taught by instructors from Ohio’s top natural resource organizations and industry experts from the state’s top educational institutions. Together, the OFA and Camp Canopy provide a curriculum that gives a comprehensive overview of the forestry and wildlife disciplines through lessons that incorporate both adventure and education.
At the end of camp, campers can take a test to qualify for a scholarship to The Ohio State University’s School of Environment and Natural Resources, Hocking College’s School of Natural Resources, Zane State College, or a scholarship for the student to use at a natural resource school of their choice.
If you have any students who may be interested in attending Camp Canopy, encourage them to apply to the Licking Soil and Water Camp Canopy Scholarship! The Scholarship application can be found on the Education Page of our website.
