The Delaware Center for the Inland Bays (Center) and Maryland Coastal Bays Program (MCBP) are excited to offer “Journey Up the Coast: An In-Person Exploration of the DE Inland and MD Coastal Bays” for children ages 6-12 this summer! This unique “bay-hop” education program will include boat tours around the Rehoboth and Assateague Bays!
There are two date options for the program. Registration for each day will be separate. Registration for Delaware will be released in mid-June, and registration for Maryland will be released in early-July. Youth are welcome to participate in one or both sessions! Registration is required.
**Please note that each day takes place at a different location and will offer slightly different activities.**
Day 1: Thursday, July 9th, from 10:00 am – 12:00 pm at 511 Rehoboth Avenue, Rehoboth Beach, DE
Day 2: Thursday, July 30th, from 9:00 – 11:00 am at 311 Talbot Street, Ocean City, MD
This program is FREE, but donations are greatly appreciated and will help support the Center and MCBP educational programming. As you may know, recent federal changes could impact access to funding for the Center and MCBP, since both organizations are part of the National Estuary Program and rely on federal funding. While challenges lie ahead, both organizations’ commitment to preserving and restoring local estuaries remains strong. Your support is more important than ever. If you’re able, please consider making a donation to help us continue this vital work. Every gift, no matter the size, makes a difference. Donations can be submitted through the following link: https://inlandbays.givevirtuous.org/donate/friend-of-the-bays. Please indicate “JUTC” in the comment box. Donations can also be accepted on the day of the program in the form of cash or a check made out to “Delaware Center for the Inland Bays” with “JUTC” written in the memo.
Please send any additional questions to the Center’s Manager of Environmental Education, Jackie Knoll, at jknoll@inlandbays.org or MCBP’s Education Program Manager, Ellen Turnbaugh, at eturnbaugh@mdcoastalbays.org.
