For students ages 12-16 years old. No parent needed.

In this 4-part teen homeschool series, we will explore the Chesapeake Bay and its surrounding beaches through hands-on, outdoor investigation. Each session will take place outside as we hike shoreline trails, examine coastal habitats, and observe seasonal changes in the Bay ecosystem. Together, we’ll identify common plants and animals, investigate water quality and tidal patterns, and build practical field skills while deepening our understanding of this unique estuarine environment.

Because each session builds on the last, participants are expected to attend all four classes.
