Winter Camp Details
Beat the holiday break boredom by attending a session of Winter Camp at the National Aviary! Campers will learn how birds survive the winter and discover what makes birds so extraordinary through guided learning sessions, interactive activities, and up-close Encounters! Plus, learn how YOU can help backyard birds during the winter, while exploring the National Aviary’s immersive habitats alongside an Aviary expert (see if you can spot a Snowy Egret!).
