 Situated on a 330-acre island sanctuary, the camp offers a variety of adult, youth and teen programs focusing on the natural history of coastal Maine, in a setting of unmatched natural beauty (and some of the best food you'll ever taste). Scott Weidensaul directs the Hog Island ornithology program, and is a strong supporter of Audubon's mission of conservation and environmental education.

 For more information about the Hog Island camp, visit the Hog Island website. If you're a Hog Island alum, consider joining the Friends of Hog Island, which provides support for the insitution, and keeps thousands of former Hog Island campers in touch with their favorite island.
