Sponsoring a Camper

As a courtesy to organizations that support young birders through scholarships, we offer the ability to reserve a space prior to general registration opening with a $500 deposit. Organizations do not have to know who will receive their scholarship at the time of reservation. We anticipate the ABA camp sessions to fill quickly again this year.

To reserve a space in ABA Camp Colorado or Camp Delaware Bay:

1. Download the 2023 Registration Form (PDF) for sponsoring organizations.
2. Send your completed registration form to scholarships@aba.org, subject line: “Sponsoring Organization Registration.”
  Note: If you are registering by mail and paying by check please send a duplicate email copy of the form to scholarships@aba.org to ensure your registration is received on time.
3. As space is limited, reservations will be processed on a first come, first served basis.
4. Set your application deadlines appropriately to have the selected participant’s information to us by April 1, 2023, and direct this person to contact Laura Guerard, Young Birder Programs Coordinator, at Lguerard@aba.org to update the account information. See the cancellation policies for full terms and refund information. If you paid a deposit, payment in full is due May 1, 2023.
