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!
