Youth Scholarship

Friends of the Verde River is pleased to announce the 2025 Young Birders  Youth Camp Scholarship competition!  The Young Birders Camp brings together kids who are eager to learn about birds, nature, ecology and conservation. 

Friends of the Verde River will award one scholarship to one young person and their adult sponsor (parent or guardian) to attend the 2025 Young Birders Camp.  The Camp is in the beautiful and bird-rich Cave Creek Canyon of the Chiricahua Mountains. Help support the scholarship fund by entering our raffle fundraiser, which can be found at the Hospitality Pavilion at any point during the festival, or Family Nature Day.

Applications for the scholarship are due no later than March 25, 2025 to vvbnf@verderiver.org. Applicants must be between the ages of 8-18 (by June 1st) to be eligible.
