Visit us at Hog Island this summer!

We’re pleased to announce our drawing winner for a session at Hog Island Audubon Center this year: Julie Suchecki from Scarborough, ME will be joining us in September for Bird Migration & Conservation. Congratulations Julie!

 

A landmark of environmental education since 1936, Hog Island Audubon Center's residential programs educate adults, children, and families about coastal wildlife in Maine and beyond. Our sessions are based on a 330-acre island in midcoast Maine's beautiful Muscongus Bay, and they're led by some of the nation's most-respected naturalists and environmental educators.

Hog Island is authentic Maine.

Awake to a chorus of woodland birds and lobster boats puttering in the bay. Spend days exploring fragrant spruce forests, fern-filled meadows, and rocky tide pools teeming with marine life. Evening presentations begin as the sun sets over the bay. More about activities.

 

Hog Island is natural and delicious!

People love our natural setting and rustic 19th-century buildings. You'll stay in a room furnished with two twin beds or in a dormitory, all with shared bath. Meals are announced by the clang of a dinner bell. Everyone eats delicious, nutritious meals served family style. Most sessions include a fresh lobster feast.

 

Meet the Guerards

Husband and wife Jason and Laura Guerard will be launching a new Hog Island program this summer aimed at bringing families closer together during a week of birding. The powerful effect of birding on Hog Island is a subject the couple knows well—after all, it’s how they fell in love. Read their story here.
