Once again this summer of 1998, the woods around High Pond near Brandon will carry the sounds of summer, wood thrush trilling, crickets chirping, and enthusiastic children. For many, the ten days spent exploring and learning about nature will be an experience they will not forget. I found out that even people who are strangers can become friends very quickly when they live in a camp, have fun, and learn things together.
Campers get to know their environment and their role in it.
We explore, share knowledge and questions, and emerge inspired by our natural world and what a dedicated community can accomplish together. Having to write an application essay, following the scientific method, and working in groups is preparing these young people for life after high school. Audubon invests in the next generation not only by running the camp but also by offering scholarships to campers. Every Vermont Audubon chapter contributes at least one scholarship to a camper from their area. Scholarships will be matched by the Vermont Audubon Council.
