DESCRIPTION: Exploring Eastern Virginia - Summer 2025\nOpen to rising 9th-12th graders in DC, MD, VA, PA.\n\nThe Eastern part of Virginia is home to some of the state’s most important tributaries entering the Bay. This summer, join fellow student leaders as we explore the relationship between these low-lying lands and our waters. Participants will get a firsthand look at Virginia’s valuable and vulnerable landscapes as they travel through Virginia’s Coastal Plain, along the Eastern Shore, and culminate their experience at CBF’s Port Isobel Island Environmental Education Center across from historic Tangier Island. Through this expedition, students will gain a greater understanding of how land and water are connected and ways they can advocate, raise awareness, and take action for clean water. Participants will camp, paddle, study the cultural importance of Tangier Island, and expand their knowledge of water quality and conservation.  \n\nLength & Location: This five-day event is in-person and overnight (tent camping at Kiptopeke State Park and dormitory-style housing at CBF’s Port Isobel Island Environmental Education Center). \n\nStarting & Ending Points: Choose the location nearest to you – Northern Virginia, Richmond, VA, or Virginia Beach, VA. \n\nOrientation: A virtual orientation will take place June 4, 2025, from 4-5 p.m. A recording will be made available for those who are unable to attend.  \n\nService-Learning Hours and Credit: Upon successful expedition completion, participants will earn at least 10 service-learning hours. \n\nCost: Generous support from CBF donors and grants allow us to offer this weeklong expedition for $500.
