Camp Winnebago, which has been serving the needs of the developmentally disabled for over thirty years, is setting up a project this year in which campers and staff will celebrate birds in various ways as an expansion of their current nature program.
The garden and the natural area surrounding Winnebago Creek, as well as the nearby town of Caledonia, will serve as great locations for campers to participate in bird observations, training on identification of Celebrate Urban Birds focal species beforehand so they can conduct surveys several times over the spring, summer, and fall.
“Being in the outdoors and enjoying nature is a universal activity that everyone can enjoy together with little adaptation,” Camp Director Barbara Cage wrote us. “We seek out the kind of activities that naturally provide opportunities for everyone to participate on an equal basis, and are excited about this easily inclusive opportunity since it is a valuable Camp program that every camper can enjoy.”
