BPQ Funding for Teens to Attend Bird Banding Camps
Do you know a teen who’s crazy about birds?
BPQ’s Education Committee will provide financial assistance to Quebec teens wishing to attend either of two summer bird banding camps located in some of Canada’s richest birding territory.
Camp Ornithologique des Jeunes Explos
Explos-Nature’s Camp Ornithologique des Jeunes Explos takes place August 11th to 16th in Tadoussac, Quebec. This camp is for teens aged 13 to 17 who are passionate about birds and/or wildlife and ideally have some knowledge about Quebec birds. Camp attendance is limited to 8 participants and activities are conducted both in the field and in a workshop setting.
BPQ will reimburse the $450 registration fee and transportation costs within Quebec for one participant. Please see the Explois-Nature website for full details about the camp and how to register. http://www.explosnature.ca/camp-ornithologique/
2019 Doug Tarry Young Ornithologists’ Workshop
