Summer Explore Trips
During the summer, the Outdoor School's Explore program runs three and
five day educational expeditions in the unspoiled regions of the upper
Bay and its tributaries. The trips travel entirely by water, and three
types of trips are available: three or five-day canoe, five-day skipjack,
and five-day buy boat. The canoes make shallow waters and secluded creeks
accessible, the skipjack is able to journey on a larger scale throughout
the Chester River and sometimes into the Bay, and the diesel powered buy
boat can go freely about the open water of the upper Bay and its tributaries.
Students participate in this program on an individual basis. The minimum
age is 8 for three-day trips, and 10 for five-day trips
All trips focus on exploring the ecology and cultural history of the
Bay. Students may watch for birds, muck through the marsh, hunt for fossils
and Native American artifacts, learn navigational skills, predict weather,
hike along beaches and forested shoreline, fish, swim, crab, cook over
open fires, sing, and sleep under the stars. The trips are terrific personal
learning experiences as participants travel, camp, cook, and eat in a
group. During the adventure there is always plenty of time to relax and
enjoy the natural beauty of the Bay region.
