Summer Programs

Many opportunities for learning occur during NERRS summer campsCBNERR conducts multi-day programs during the summer for students going into grades 1-8.  These 5-day programs cover themes such as wetlands, environmental stewardship, and general Chesapeake Bay exploration.

2012 Summer Programs are closed for registration.  Camp applications for Summer 2013 will be available March 1, 2013.  If you are interested in getting on the camp email list for a reminder on next year's camps, please email Sarah McGuire at mcguire@vims.edu
