Brewster, MA
Before I know it, I'll be enjoying bird walks Monday through Friday with the KidSummer Birding 101 group. KidSummer is a nature oriented day camp offered at The Cape Cod Museum of Natural History in Brewster, MA. It is sponsored by IFAW, whose international headquarters is two towns away in Yarmouthport, MA. IFAW has sponsored hundreds of deserving local children the past several years through the scholarship they offer to send these kids to a quality day camp they would otherwise not get to enjoy. One of the benefits to KidSummer is the diversity of the attendants, children aged 3-15.
One of the counselors for Nature Sleuths (5&6 year olds) asked if I would lead a bird walk for their group. HAPPY TO! They were animated and interested and gentle with nature, which are qualities we bird nerds like to experience. Thanks for having me along for one of your morning activities Nature Sleuths!
