For children entering grades 6-8 grade in fall 2023
Take your interest in birds to the next level with this camp. From the forest to the shore we will be learning about the many species of birds that call our area home. We will teach you how to identify birds by their song and appearance. This year we will also be collecting data for the breeding bird survey, visiting a bird banding station, and going on a cruise in search of birds near the mouth of the Patuxent River! Bring your binoculars and your camera for a fun adventure.
