Event Details

Exploring Chesapeake Bay Island Ecology
Open to all teachers in DC, MD, VA, PA.

How can we deepen our knowledge of the Chesapeake by immersing ourselves in the Bay’s historic communities? Join us for a weeklong exploration in the heart of the Chesapeake. Teachers will enjoy time with colleagues exploring the waters, beaches, and marshes of Smith and Tangier Islands. We will engage in hands-on and field-based investigations by boat, canoe, and on foot to study the critters and ecology of the Bay. We will discover firsthand how the watershed impacts the Chesapeake Bay and develop a plan to bring these concepts back to our students by encouraging sustainability and fostering environmental literacy.

Length & Location: Five consecutive days of field-based, collaborative learning at CBF’s Smith Island and Port Isobel Environmental Education Centers. Dorm-style housing will be provided Monday – Friday.
Cost: $375
Credit: Upon successful course completion, participants are eligible for continuing education credit or contact hours. Graduate credit is also available and requires additional forms and fees. See details on our website.
