Ensure students pack appropriate gear for the weather, as camps are held outside in a large tent. There will be a break for lunch, so please bring a lunch and a snack.

Avian Adventures Summer Camps are made possible by a grant from the
Camps Initiative at The Alaska Community Foundation
in partnership with Rasmuson Foundation.
