Spend a Night in the Nest with me at the National Eagle Center




Night in the Nest Camp­­

The National Eagle Center invites 3rd-5th graders to spend a Night in the Nest this fall.

Come experience life through the eyes of a bald eagle- playing games, making friends, and meeting the center's five resident birds: Harriet, Angel, Columbia, Donald, and Was'aka. Campers will discover how an eagle captures and eats its food through games and a live feeding session. They will learn about its nest by creating one of their own to bring home, and participate in a scavenger hunt to find out when and why eagles migrate, and why so many can be found in Wabasha during one particular season of the year. A relay race will test their new knowledge and give them a chance to try their hand at the basics of falconry: knot tying and lifting the weight of an eagle. Every camper will receive a Night in the Nest t-shirt and have his/her picture taken with an eagle, to take home and treasure for years to come. $45 Members $50 Non-members
5pm to 9am, with an evening snack and bagel breakfast provided.
Camp sessions:
Saturday, October 10th- Sunday, October 11th
Saturday, October 24th- Sunday, October 25th
Location: The National Eagle Center, 50 Pembroke Ave, Wabasha MN. 55981
