Adventure into the heart of the Chesapeake during a five-day environmental education summer camp designed for middle school students and hosted at a CBF island education center.

Join us this summer for Middle School Bay Eco-Camp, a new weeklong learning adventure designed for students interested in the outdoors and the Bay’s natural ecosystems.

  • Canoe through marshy creeks.
  • Haul up nets full of underwater grasses and Bay critters.
  • Create works of art inspired by beautiful sunrises and sunsets.
  • Explore the historic community of Tangier Island. And more!
