About
FFA Wildlife Camp is a week-long residential summer camp where participants take part in firearm safety and hunter safety classes. Programs and classes are taught by qualified instructors, and are offered in both a Basic Wildlife Camp and an Advanced Wildlife Camp format.
• Ages: 10–16 years old
• Schedule: Week-long residential summer camp; 2026 camp dates are July 5–9 for Basic Wildlife Camp and July 12–16 for Advanced Wildlife Camp
• Price: The cost of FFA Wildlife Camp is $420, which includes a non-refundable $100 deposit due upon completion of the registration application.
Basic Wildlife Camp is for ages 10–15 and is centered on firearm safety and hunter safety, and participants receive their Georgia Hunter Safety Certification during their week of camp. Advanced Wildlife Camp is for ages 11–16 and is for participants who have attended Basic Wildlife Camp or already received Georgia Hunter Safety Certification, and its classes vary from year to year and cover more advanced concepts. Programs and classes are designed to be hands-on and geared toward the age of the participants.
The program’s two primary goals are to increase safety, awareness, and appreciation of wildlife and outdoor sports among young boys and girls in a dynamic, hands-on environment, and to instill core character values such as integrity, respect, responsibility, and commitment. Participants receive their Georgia Hunter Safety Certification during their week of camp.
