Colors of Nature Summer Camp Five Day Session

July 29 |

Five Day Session; Monday – Friday, July 29 – August 2 | 9 am – 3 pm Ages 9 – 12
Members: $230; Non-Members: $250

Bird feathers come in every color of the rainbow, including some we can’t even see! How does this remarkable coloration help birds to hide from predators, recognize each other, and more? And how can we use the unique colors of each species to identify different birds in our backyards and beyond? During this special five day session of summer camp, your camper will learn all about the wild rainbow of avian colors while trekking through habitats, doing scientific investigations, having up-close encounters with Animal Ambassadors, and exploring the outdoors.
