Nature Camp: Super Smart Scavengers


  • Location: 1313 Mill Street SE Suite 107 Salem, OR, 97301 (map)

Turkey vultures can ride air currents like expert paragliders to scope out their next meal and crows can solve puzzles to get food! Learn about all of the ways that scavengers help keep ecosystems clean. Straub Outdoors Nature Camps begin and end at the Willamette Heritage Center in Salem with a daily shuttle to Smith Creek Village at Silver Falls State Park for science-based investigations and other fun activities. Ages 6-11. Tuition: $429 per child. 10% discount for multiple siblings registering for the same camp. Registration opens Monday, January 22, 2024.
