Are you looking for something fun to do over the summer of 2016? Consider a young birder camp! These are great opportunities to travel to incredible places, meet other young birders, and learn about future careers involving birds.
The American Birding Association offers two camps: Camp Colorado will have two dates, July 16-22 and July 25-31, and will explore the diversity of birds in the mountains and lowlands of Colorado. Camp Avocet explores the coasts and southern forests of Delaware and will run July 30-August 5.
