Pribilof Seabird Youth Camp 2023
St. Paul Island: 3-9 July
We’re looking forward to in-person Seabird Camp this summer!
Activities will be led by Tonia Kushin, Ram Papish, Kendra Bush, and Alexis Will, and will include field trips, science projects and artwork. The Camp, to be held July 3-9th, will have a special focus on eggs this year. Students entering grades 1 – 6 will have the opportunity to attend afternoon sessions and older students 7th grade on up will be able to attend their own weekend camp out.
We had to cancel our planned trip to the Commander Islands this summer, and so have a couple of exciting alternate camp options for kids 11yrs and older:
HIKING AND CAMPING ON ST. GEORGE ISLAND: In addition to our week of Seabird Camp we have planned a unique camp on St. George. This hiking camping week will run on St. George Island from July 10-16th, with overnight backpacking trips to Garden Cove and Fox Castle/High Bluffs. Transportation, lodging, food and supplies are provided. Kids must be age 11yrs or older. Spaces limited, so apply now! More information from Ram: rampapish@gmail.com
CULTURAL AND SCIENCE CAMP ON UNALASKA: A limited number of students from St. George and St. Paul can apply to attend Camp Qungaayux on Unalaska this summer. The dates are July 29-August 5th. Transportation, lodging, food and supplies are provided. Kids must be age 11yrs or older. Spaces limited, so apply now! More information from Ram: rampapish@gmail.com or Tonia: toniakushin@gmail.com
