ABOUT NORMAN BIRD SANCTUARY’S SUMMER CAMP:

In what has become a tradition for many, generations of curious campers have been able to explore our expansive 300-acre outdoor classroom and have fun in nature. Our age-appropriate and innovative camps offer a unique blend of hands-on learning, games, animal encounters and team building. Camp groups utilize our outdoor classrooms and are held in small groups with caring, enthusiastic and professional Teacher Naturalists.
