For children entering grades 6-8 grade in fall 2025

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 as well as learn about their behaviors and places they call home. This year we will be visiting a bird banding station, and going on a trip out of the county to expand the numbers of species we can see! Bring your binoculars and your camera for a fun adventure.
