Description: From June 11-15, 2012, the Gulf Coast Bird Observatory will hold our first ever summer day camp on birds and birding for ages 8-11. The camp will run from 9:00 to 3:00 each day and will include varying outdoor learning experiences including bird identification, how and why birds communicate, build a bird, bird sketching, examining wetland critters eaten by wading birds, and conducting a mini-research project. At the end of the camp, each participant will graduate as a certified Bird Scene Investigators. Fee for the camp is $150 and includes all supplies for the camp activities along with a snack. Each child will need to bring a lunch including a drink, sunscreen, and insect repellant. The camp is designed to instill a love of nature, the outdoors and birds as everyone spends the week exploring a vast variety of bird related topics. The backbone of the week will come from GCBO’s Coastal Wild Bird Trunk, an educational resource developed with grants from NOAA, USFWS, the GLO, the Trull Foundation, and TPWD.
