2025 Tom Johnson Memorial Scholarships
Two scholarships are offered to students (ages 14-17) each summer and include a week of instruction and activities, operated by the National Audubon Society at Hog Island in Bremen, Maine. This year, the camp will run from June 29-July 4.
Hog Island Audubon Camp has a rich history in American Ornithology with its first bird instructor, Roger Tory Peterson, to the birthplace of Audubon’s Project Puffin. Hog Island is operated by the National Audubon Society under the Seabird Institute.
The Hog Island Scholarship fund offered by AAS was renamed in 2024 in memory of world-renowned birder Tom Johnson, whom AAS had sent to Hog Island Audubon Camp when he was a teen. Please read more about Tom in this article provided by the American Birding Association.

Testimonial from 2024 selected attendee Matthew Clayton.
Hog Island 2024 was extremely fun, I enjoyed everything about it. I learned so much about seabirds, inland birds, the ecological history of Maine, and even geology. The instructors were awesome and informative, the activities were fun and engaging, even the food was awesome! I would definitely return if given the opportunity, and would definitely recommend this camp to anyone interested in going!
