Through outdoor activities and guided observation, students will learn essential birding skills- this camp is perfect for curious young naturalists who love being outside and discovering wildlife!
Instructor: Annika Merkel
A little about your instructor: Hi! My name is Annika, and I grew up here in Fairbanks. I love nature, and especially birds, and have worked with songbirds for almost half of my life. Songbirds are super neat, and I want to share that with everyone! They are very tough, and we could all learn a thing or two from their persistence. In my free time, I love being outside, reading, and playing the violin.
Here's Annika releasing a bird during one of her first summers working with the Alaska Songbird Institute!
