Join us this summer for Middle School Bay Eco-Camp, a weeklong learning adventure designed for students interested in the outdoors and the Bay’s natural ecosystems. Eco-campers will create lasting memories with new friends, explore the outside world, and engage in physical, social, and educational activities. Here are some example adventures:
- 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!
