It’s time to apply for Nature Camp scholarships! The educational camp in the George Washington National Forest has, for many years, offered opportunities for nature-loving students to learn about our Virginia environment and strategies for protecting it. During October, the Williamsburg Bird Club is accepting applications for scholarships for Summer 2025 sessions.
The Bill Williams Nature Camp scholarships, valued at $1,000 each, offer environmental opportunities for students in James City County, upper York County, and Williamsburg. A committee evaluates the applications to choose recipients who exemplify the ideals of Williamsburg Bird Club.
Nature Camp, a two-week, co-educational, academic camp in Vesuvius, Virginia, emphasizes education in natural history and environmental studies. It is intended for those seeking a science/nature experience. Campers will attend class daily, maintain a notebook, complete written projects, and participate in outdoor activities.
If you know of a student in grades 5-12, who loves nature and would enjoy a two-week session at Nature Camp, please encourage them to download an application from the Williamsburg Bird Club website and return it by October 31. https://williamsburgbirdclub.org/about/nature-camp-scholarships/
