A week of intensive, hands-on bird study, co-hosted by biologists from the Environmental Resilience Institute and the Midwest Center for Birds and Biodiversity. Campers will catch wild birds in mist nets, record data points on each, and release them back into nature. Demonstrations and activities will aid in campers’ understanding of bird ecology, anatomy, migration, flight, and identification. Camp will take place rain or shine, so bring appropriate gear.
Qualifying families, both member and nonmember, can be awarded full funding for one session per child and then receive the member price for any additional sessions.
Scholarship applications will be accepted beginning Thursday, January 5, 2023 through June 30, 2023.
Scholarship applicants who apply by February 15, 2023 will be notified of their award in time to secure a spot in at least one of their preferred sessions.
