Michigan Young Birders Camp
June 26, 2022 - July 1, 2022
After two years of offering a virtual camp experience, Michigan Audubon is happy to announce that we’re moving back to an in-person Michigan Young Birders Camp for 2022! We are so pleased to continue connecting young people with the diverse bird communities of the Great Lakes region for the fifth year. Michigan Audubon hopes to reach more young birders, ages 13–18, during this week of exciting avian knowledge and adventures in conservation!
The 2022 Michigan Young Birders Camp will be held June 26–July 1 at Alma College. From Alma, participants will travel around the state, visiting different habitats and important bird areas to enhance and support their learning throughout the week. We’ll discuss bird conservation topics and bird identification tips and techniques, and listen to a variety of guest speakers on topics related to birds.
The 2022 camp experience will cost $500 per camper. This includes lodging, food, transportation during camp, camp materials, and camper swag. A limited number of need-based scholarships are available and space is limited. Camper applications are accepted until May 1 or until spaces are filled.
Out of a concern for safety, we will follow appropriate, current public health protocols. All those involved with the in-person activities of camp must be fully vaccinated. Masks, social distancing, and extra cleaning will be utilized as necessary, along with additional state-recommended cleaning accommodations for overnight camps.
