2010 ABA Young Birder Camp Circuit

...New birds, new friends, new experiences

In 2010, ABA will be sponsoring three outstanding camps, as well as hosting one of its own. Each camp was chosen for its strong educational emphasis, as well as for its regional interest. Attending all of these camps will set a young birder on a path to excel in fields of natural history, ecology and ornithology. ABA is offering over $5000 dollars in scholarships to help individuals offset the cost of these camps. Please review our scholarship application information.
