Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge is proud to announce the first Children in the Woods Day Camp. The participants will experience the six priority uses of a National Wildlife Refuge including hunting, fishing, wildlife observation, photography, interpretation, and environmental education. Kids from Accomack and North Hampton County, who at the end of the school year will complete grades 3^rd, 4^th, & 5^th are encouraged to apply. The day camp is limited to sixteen participants and selection will be from a random drawing of applicants. The cost of the day camp is $50.00 per participant, and scholarships will be awarded to qualified applicants. The day camp participants will have the opportunity to learn about the National Wildlife Refuge System, and more importantly to develop a connection with nature.
