Ornithology Field Camp
Entering grades 9–12
If your high-schooler has a strong interest in birds and bird research, this camp is the perfect opportunity to expand their field ornithology skills. Designed for campers with a strong interest in birds—this program offers hands-on, advanced learning in the fascinating world of ornithology.
Throughout the week, campers will rise before sunrise each day to gain valuable field experience, learning to safely remove passerines from mist nets, age and sex birds, and use color and PIT tags to study bird behavior. An exciting outing to a boreal forest will give them the chance to see neotropical migrants in their stunning breeding plumage, deepening their connection to the study of bird life.
In addition to these specialized experiences, campers will enjoy traditional camp fun like rock climbing, canoeing, and other outdoor activities. This camp is perfect for bird enthusiasts looking to develop real-world skills while connecting with nature and like-minded peers.
