Join the Young Birders' Club!

A birding hike series just for kids!

Young Birders will:

- Learn how to use binoculars

- Learn how to spot and identify birds

- Visit the Bird Research Station

- Create their own field guide

The Young Birders' Club is an opportunity for youth, aged 9-12, to go on introductory birding hikes specifically geared for young people. Our goal is to look for birds at Tommy Thompson Park through the spring migration season, and to develop our birding skills. In addition to hiking, other age appropriate activities will take place to complement the birding. The club will meet on four occasions (see dates below), and with every meeting, our bird observation and identification skills will improve. On our fourth and final meeting this season, families are invited to come along on our birding hike to learn from our Young Birders!

Please note that meetings will involve a significant amount of walking. Binoculars and field guides are provided for the meetings. Delivered by a certified teacher.

Meeting dates are on the following Sunday mornings from 8 a.m. to 11 a.m.

We encourage Young Birders to attend all four meetings, if possible.
