Registration is now open for week-long summer camps at the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum in St. Michaels, Md., which begin June 28 and continue through Aug. 20. In age-appropriate Chesapeake-themed sessions for ages 4–15, campers will explore the magic of the Chesapeake Bay’s people, animals, traditions, and environment, with an emphasis on creating a fun, hands-on learning environment that includes on-the-water and environmental activities, stories, games, crafts, and other creative projects.
CBMM’s Sea Squirts summer camp sessions for children 4–6 years old and Terrapins summer camp sessions for children entering grades one–three are offered during the weeks of June 28, July 5, July 12, July 19, July 26, and Aug.2. The Sea Squirts camp takes place Monday through Friday from 9am–noon, while Terrapins’ sessions run from 9am–3pm. Weekly camp themes include Bay Crusaders; Chesapeake Critters; Explore & More; Feathers, Fins, and Furs; Red, White, and Bay; and Shipwrecked.
Summer Workshops, offering children the chance to spend time both in CBMM’s workshop and on the water, will be offered for grades four–six during the weeks of July 5, July 26, and Aug. 16, and for grades six–nine during the week of July 19. Summer Workshops will be held from 9am–3pm, Monday–Friday.
CBMM camps allow campers to explore CBMM’s 18-acre campus and numerous exhibition buildings as part of the program. Each session is limited to a maximum of 8 children; cost varies for each program, with a 20% discount on tuition offered to CBMM members. Scholarships are available for campers with financial need.
