Aquatic Adventures: July 10th to July 21st

The John James Audubon Center is part of the Perkiomen Creek and Delaware River watersheds. During these two weeks, we will learn about the watersheds as well as the plants and animals that call it home. We'll also learn about how plant life is important to our rivers and streams, and about microplastics and the danger they present to our aquatic life.

Pollination and Migration: July 24th to August 4th

$700

We can't live without pollinators so let's spend our camp time learning all about them and we can help them to survive. We'll explore birds and insects that help pollinate plants, and discover some things we can do in our own communities and backyards to benefit them. We will also use Audubon's new Migratory Bird Explorer app to see when and where birds migrate, and learn how our actions can have an effect on them.
