Subject: [centralvalleybirds] CVBC Youth Scholarships- now accepting applications for Summer 2026 Camps
Hi Central Valley birders,



Many youth birding camps have kicked off registration and we are happy to
announce that the Central Valley Bird Club is now accepting applications
for the David Yee Youth Scholarships which covers up to $2,000 of the
tuition and camp fees for birding camps during the Summer 2026 camp season.
If you are a young birder 12-18 years old check out this great opportunity.
If you know a young birder that needs a scholarship to camp, please pass
along this information.



Thanks to the generous support of our members as well as contributions from
Yolo and Altacal Bird Alliances, and Sacramento and Sierra Foothills
Audubon societies we've been able to send a lot of kids to camp over the
years.



The instructions to sign up for the scholarship (applications can be mailed
or sent via email) are here:
https://www.cvbirds.org/youth-scholarship-fund/scholarship-instructions/



Read about the camp experience of a previous recipient on our blog:

Examples of the camp experiences eligible for the scholarship include Hog
Island Audubon Camp (

Birding Association Young Birders Camps (https://www.aba.org/camps/), Wolf
Ridge Environmental Learning Center (
https://wolf-ridge.org/programs/youth-experiences/summer-camp-2/), and
Sierra Nevada Field Campus classes and workshops (https://sierra.sfsu.edu/).



Applications are due to me by December 15th, 2025. If you have any
questions, please contact me at <yellowhammerCA...>



If you aren’t a young birder but you’d like to support the scholarship fund
please visit our website and use the donate button in the upper right.
