Dear CBEC friends,
Here at CBEC we are gearing up for another wonderful year of 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!
We have 4 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 9-3 daily. Cost per session is $200 for members and $225 for non-members. Campers will be divided into two groups based on age, which allows us to offer a variety of activities that are guaranteed to excite and challenge all of our campers from ages 5 to 12. Each week has a different theme, so campers can choose to come to one, two, three, or all four sessions!

Explore the marshlands and Bay while catching Bay critters, hiking, geo-caching, and kayaking, then create recycled boats, make ice cream, and Bay-gull pizzas in a solar oven! And this is only a sample of the activities campers will enjoy! |
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 food colonists enjoyed, and participate in projects to protect the Bay for future generations. |

See how well you can "rough it" out in the woods. Campers will learn navigation, basic first aid, shelter building, and backcountry cooking skills. |

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! |
