Send a Child to Summer Camp!

We believe that every child should get to experience to summer camp! Each summer, dozens of children experience our nature camps thanks to donors like YOU. By donating to the Joe Koger Camp Scholarship Fund, you'll provide financial assistance to parents/guardians with special circumstances to help send their child to camp.

About the Joe Koger Camp Scholarship Fund

For 40 years, Joe Koger inspired and led over 4,000 campers at Audubon Caratunk Wildlife Refuge in Seekonk, MA. He guided young naturalists on thousands of field explorations, where they searched for life under logs, explored stream habitats, and honed their naturalist skills. With 35 years of experience as a high school biology teacher in Warren, Koger knows how to engage children in science. He became a beloved mentor to many as they returned to Caratunk year after year. With his skills, passion for science, and extensive knowledge of the natural world, many of his campers became junior counselors and camp instructors, and he has inspired many careers in environmental science.

With this scholarship fund, Audubon looks to thank Koger for 40 years of dedication to environmental education and to offer camp experiences to future generations in his honor.
