Young Experts Program
A major addition to this year’s Wilderness Wildlife Week is the Young Experts Program (YEP). This special incentive program has been designed to provide youth ages 12 and younger an immersive and unique way to learn about wildlife, wilderness, old-time arts, area history, Appalachian culture and to connect to the great outdoors. More than 125 classes and excursions are available in this inaugural year. Session attendance and participation also allow each youth participating the opportunity to receive credit to redeem for free gifts for participating in the program. Gifts include coloring books, teddy bears, Frisbees and other special prizes and treats. Complete information will be available in the Event Program Guide and at the Information Desk during Wilderness Wildlife Week
First-Ever Film Race Competition

Please note this is a family-friendly event and entries featuring profanity or nudity will not be accepted.

Wilderness Wildlife Week Photography Contest Goes to Digital Display Format
For our photography friends, there are some major changes for this year’s photography contest. For the first time ever, submissions for the contest will be digital only. What this means is the contest will no longer display printed images for judging and will be a Digital Display Photography Contest. This change has been made for a myriad of reasons as we know it will make the contest easier and more affordable to enter. Additionally, the categories and submission guidelines have also changed. Additionally, there will be special physical photography displays you do not want to miss!
