Program Description:

This summer Seabrook Island Birders (SIB) is offering something new!  Will you have a child between the ages of 8-15 with you on Seabrook Island this summer who might like to learn more about feathers AND BIRDS??  Jane Settle, a retired marine biologist and teacher, avid naturalist, and SIB Shorebird Steward will be offering a fun and informative one-morning camp experience! 

This fun time will be filled with activities, inside and outside.  Participants will learn about both feathers ( structure and function) and the birds that “wear them”! Participants will investigate preserved feathers (collected with USFWS permit) with hand magnifiers, draw and color their own pictures of them, play word games, as well as take a walk about and make observations outside along our nearby boardwalks, weather permitting.

Minimum attendance to hold a camp day is 6 and maximum attendance is 12. 

If you are not yet a 2024 SIB member, you can become a member for only $15 by following the instructions on our website: https://seabrookislandbirders.org/contact/join-sib/.
