The Halberg Ecology Camp is having its most successful Fall Appeal ever. As of this writing, we have received a total of $8,590 in donations. Of that total $4,285 has been donated by parents and grandparents of former camp students and the remaining $4,305 has come from everyone else, including a number of new donors who are members of the Arkansas Audubon Society.
  Thank you all for your generosity! If you received a Fall Appeal letter and have not yet sent in a donation, it is never too late to do so.
  We are gearing up for two regular sessions again this June, with each session having room for 48 new campers and 14 returning, or senior, campers, a total of 62 each session. And in July we will hold the second Advanced Camp for 14 third year campers.
  We rely on support from the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission which funds 25 scholarships at $200 each, a total of $5,000 each year. In addition, we have a number of Audubon and nature groups which provide scholarships and tuition assistance so that affordability is not an impassable hurdle for good hands-on ecology students. Other funding sources include tuition, interest on CDs and bonds, memorial donations and bequests plus the annual Fall Appeal.
I  t costs us well over $50,000 each year to hold both regular sessions plus the advanced camp.
