Merrymeeting

This program is well-suited for interested 2nd to 6th grade children with a parent, but all family members are welcome. Participants will have the opportunity to observe summer resident birds and other nature at Hamilton Sanctuary, and have birds light upon a tray held by their gloved hands to eat seed (see videos below). Participants should have jeans and a visored cap for the “Sneaky Pat Challenge”.

The videos linked below shows some of the activity at the 2016 and 2018 summer programs (each is less than 3 min. long):
