Over 65 industry professionals volunteered their time throughout the week to instruct the future foresters, wildlife specialists, and conservationists of Ohio. Many instructors have been helping with camp for decades because of their passion and drive to engage the next generation. Camp Canopy will be held June 14-19, 2026 at Ohio FFA Camp Muskingum.
