Birds of a Feather Camp

Get ready to look up! At Bird Discovery Camp, campers dive into the incredible world of birds through unforgettable, up-close experiences This camp offers a structured, science-based exploration of birds and ecosystems through activities that emphasize experiential learning and direct observation. Campers participate in daily educational sessions using live birds of prey as part of carefully designed activities that connect raptor biology, behavior, ecology and conservation science.

All raptor programming is led by Dr. Michele Losee, founder of the International Raptor & Falconry Center, a Raptor Ecologist, Master Falconer and Educator with more than two decades of experience. Live raptors are integrated into activities that support understanding of behavior, predator-prey relationships, flight and hunting adaptations, and the role raptors play in healthy ecosystems.

Campers also participate in field activities, species identification by sight and sound and habitat exploration where kids discover the vital role birds play in biodiversity and why protecting habitats helps both wildlife and people.
