I'm pleased to announce that OFO is sponsoring a camp for young birders aged 13-18 in Algonquin Park the last week of August. This follows on from last year's successful pilot. Counsellors include Jeff and Angela Skevington, myself, Jeremy Bensett, Ian Shanahan, and Jamie Spence.
The OFO Young Birders Camp is an immersive birding and naturalist experience for teenagers aged 13-18. The overnight camp will take place the last week of August when biting insects have died down and fall migration is peaking. Campers will stay at the Wildlife Research Station, a private research facility situated in a forest beside a lake off Hwy 60. Campers will learn about the biodiversity of Algonquin Park, wildlife research, nature interpretation and increase their observation skills. Daily activities will include birding, herping, botanizing and mammal tracking. Campers will have the opportunity to join park naturalists to scout wolf packs, private tours of active research projects, go mothing and practice photography and drawing. Each day will include free time for private exploration, swimming and canoeing. The cost of the camp is $700 for the full week. Space is limited to 14 campers.
