Arkansas Audubon Society Halberg Ecology Camp

It's that time of year again when we are actively recruiting 11- and 12-year old boys and girls for the two June sessions of the Arkansas Audubon Society Halberg Ecology Camp. The 1st session will be Sunday June 9 until Friday June 14. The 2nd session will begin on Sunday June 16 and end Friday June 21.

This is the 34th year for this incredible, hands-on Ecology Camp.

Each session we are looking for 50 new students who are interested in hands-on natural sciences. Some of those 100 total spots have already been filled. If you know of any 11- or 12-year old youth who are interested in the natural sciences—ornithology, herpetology, mammalogy, aquatic biology, entomology, geology and botany—please make sure they and their families are made aware of this terrific educational opportunity.

The staff consists of 14 instructors who teach in pairs (for example, two ornithology instructors teaching a class of 8-10 students), two co-directors to oversee and coordinate camp activities, an activities director, a full-time registered nurse, and an excellent kitchen staff that serves meals that are both tasty and nutritious. The instructors include high school science teachers, graduate students, college instructors, and working professionals.

We rent the entire Camp Clearfork facilities near Crystal Springs off Highway 270 from the U.S. Forest Service. Camp Clearfork is closed to outsiders during our rental period. Our staff is very security conscious.

Rather than trying to describe everything about the camp to you, I suggest you visit the Ecology Camp website:
