Spring Break Birding Bootcamp
We may be on Spring Break, but many bird species are hard at work migrating! Do you have what it takes to be a birder? We will teach you all the foundational skills of birding- from using binoculars and spotting scopes to bird ID and more. Spend time exploring Cape May’s best birding hubs, plus enjoy classic summer camp-inspired games and activities throughout the sessions! Join us for one day or sign up for all three!
SCHEDULE:
- April 6th: Hang out at the nature center for a morning jam-packed with summer-camp favorite activities. Learn the basics of using binoculars, play camp games, and search for shorebirds on the Cape May Harbor!
- April 8th: Take a field trip and explore some of Cape May’s best Spring Migration spots! Visit the Cape May Point State Park and the Cape May Springwatch to start adding new species to your “life list”.
- April 10th: Become a community scientist! Learn all about how you can help birds by studying them. Record the birds you spot so scientists can use your data for conservation!
COST: $60 per day, $150 3-day bundle
MEETING LOCATION: Nature Center of Cape May (1600 Delaware Avenue, Cape May, NJ ,08204)
