Camp Scholarships

Chuck Huntington Merrymeeting Chapter Scholarship Fund

The Chuck Huntington Scholarship Fund provides scholarships for scholarship area elementary students, teens, and teachers to attend five summer programs. We provide full and half scholarships to approximately 30 students each year. Applications for scholarships are made available to area schools in February of each year and are also available for downloading on this page.

SUMMER CAMP PROGRAMS:

Hog Island Audubon Camp

Scholarships are available for scholarship area teens and teachers for one-week residential experiences at the Hog Island Audubon Camp. A wide range of nature and ornithology programs are available from June through September. This year we hope to send two students (ages 14-17) and one teacher to camp. Here are sample offerings of Hog Island Camp programs and tentative dates for summer 2023:

Coastal Maine Bird Studies for Teens: (Sorry, 2023 session is full, inquire in fall of 2023)
