Summer Camp Programs

School may be out, but the learning never stops! 

Join Audubon educators for nature-based camps year-round. Camp runs 9am-3pm with aftercare available until 5pm for an additional cost. We need a minimum of 6 campers to run each session, so bring your friends! 

For more information about what to expect at camp, please review our Camp Survival Guide. Scholarships are available based on financial need and on a first-come, first-served basis. Please email our camp director for more details and application. 
 

Spring Break Camp 2025 

Join us for a week of outdoor fun! We are hosting one camp session for ages 5-12. Spring Break camp is tentatively scheduled for March 24-28th, 2025, with registration opening in February 2025.  

Registration for camp will be completed through CampDoc. To create an account in our camp registration software or to log into your account from last year, please visit: app.campdoc.com/register/audubon/randalldavey.  
 

Summer Camp

Thanks for a great summer! Our 2025 brochure will be released in early 2025. Online registration will open in around the beginning of March. 

Spend your summer exploring the natural beauty of Santa Fe! We learn about our local ecosystems out on the trail, doing hands-on activities and crafts, and playing games. Our week-long summer camps will run from the beginning of June through the end of July. Please see our brochure for more details.  

 Registration for camp will be completed through CampDoc. Sessions are first come, first served so we recommend creating an account prior to registration. To create an account in our camp registration software or to log into your account from last year, please visit: app.campdoc.com/register/audubon/randalldavey. When creating an account, please make sure to do so using your camper’s information. Our camps are age restricted, so if you have entered your own information and birthday, you will be outside the age range for our camps and they will not be visible. 
 

Teen Volunteers: 

Teens ages 13-17 can apply to be our Camp Volunteers. We are accepting applications on a rolling basis, with interviews conducted in April. Volunteers are expected to commit to at least two weeks of camp as well as one training day at the Randall Davey Center. As part of building responsibility and independence, we request that teens complete the application themselves and email the Camp Director themselves. 

New Mexico ranks as one of the worst states on the Child-Welfare Index. It is critical that we provide greater resources to engage students in science and nature. In 2012, only 21% of New Mexico’s 8th graders were proficient in science, with Hispanic and low income students farther behind. Audubon New Mexico teaches our Birds of a Feather Explore Together Environmental Education program, which is directly aligned with New Mexico’s science standards and benchmarks and helps students understand that birds and humans share needs and habitats. Importantly, it addresses how birds play a critical role in indicating the health of our world and how changes in their circumstance warn of threats to habitats and natural systems critical to all life. Students develop knowledge about birds through experiential activities focusing on bird adaptations - feathers, nests, eggs, beaks, claws and talons - as well as the scientific dissection of owl pellets. Students also experience an “outdoor classroom” as they observe local bird species, plants and animals. 
 

When the environment is a context for learning, students perform better on standardized tests in all subjects and show increased engagement and enthusiasm for learning. Audubon has specifically designed our Environmental Education programs toward these goals. 


For many teachers, Audubon programs are the only substantive science lessons their students receive. Help us give ALL CHILDREN the opportunity to experience the wonders of nature and science – they are the next-generation stewards to protect New Mexico’s precious natural resources.
