Every day that the temperature rises above freezing, we here at CBEC start daydreaming about summer camps! If your child is looking for an exciting, action-packed, and educational experience this summer, consider signing up for a week (or several!) of CBEC camps. Many campers are already signed up, so act quickly to get your child registered.
We have four sessions of camp scheduled for the weeks of June 20th and 27th and July 18th and 25th. Camp will be held Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. daily for campers ages 5-12. Cost per session is $200 for members and $225 for non-members. Each week has a different theme (see below), so campers are encouraged to sign up for more than one week. There is even a $25 discount for attending more than 2 weeks!
Camp themes:
June 20-24, Life around the Bay
Explore the marshlands and the Bay while catching critters, hiking, geocaching, and kayaking. Then create recycled boats, make ice cream, and Bay-gull pizzas in a solar oven!
June 27-July 1, Bay through the Ages
Experience the Bay through the eyes of Native Americans, early colonists, and watermen. Hear traditional Native American stories, create leather bracelets and dream catchers, learn to cook over a fire to make foods the colonists enjoyed, and participate in projects to protect the Bay for future generations.
July 18-22, Survival Camp
See how well you can “rough it” out in the woods. Campers will learn navigation, basic first aid, shelter building, and back country cooking skills.
July 25-29, Wonders of Water
Play in the Bay, enjoy exploring the marshlands and catching Bay critters, kayak (for campers in 3-6 grade, younger campers will go on creek hikes), learn the importance of the Bay and help with projects to protect it for future generations, and spend the rest of the time staying cool with water games!
If you are interested in reserving a space for your child, please email Katey Nelson at knelson@bayrestoration.org or call CBEC at 410.827.6694. Have friends or neighbors with children? Consider recommending CBEC camps!
