We are pleased to announce that registration is now open for the 2024 Alan Wormington Memorial Camp for Young Birders. This year’s camp will be held from August 3rd – August 11th and will once again take place in Algonquin Park. The camp will include a short canoe and camping trip.

Space is limited to a maximum of 14 campers aged 13-17.  Campers should have a keen interest in birds and natural history and should expect long days in the field. 

Registration (but not payment) is required to be considered for the camp. The deadline for registration is March 5th. Please register on the ofo.ca website under Events/Event Registration. Please note that registration is not a guarantee of acceptance. 

OFO will review all applications when registration closes on March 5th and notify campers the following week.

Payment is required when acceptance is confirmed. The cost of the camp is $1,000. Donations to cover the true cost of $1,600 per camper are gratefully accepted. Bursaries may be available.
