Celebrating 90 Years of Hog Island Audubon Camp

Hog Island Audubon Camp opened in 1936 with a singular vision - to teach people about conservation and to inspire them to become leaders in environmental movements in their own communities. Join us in August as we celebrate the legacy of Hog Island and pay homage to those who've been integral in the camp's success.
