Feathered Friends campers will investigate feathers, eggs, nests, flight, bird song and anatomy. We will craft, play, and best of all, we will bird! Birding is a hobby for anybody and for every body! Participants will learn how to use binoculars, scopes, and field guides. They will learn to bird by sight and by ear. Our week together will be playful, active, and much of our time will be spent outdoors, exploring the school’s campus and natural areas.
Location: Montessori School of Durham
