Details

Join us for a weekend on Smith Island with the Chesapeake Bay Foundation!

The trip kicks off with dinner on campus Thursday, October 15; we depart the morning of Friday, October 16 and return the evening of Sunday, October 18. You'll travel by ferry from Crisfield, MD to Tylerton — one of three watermen's communities on Smith Island — and stay at CBF's residential education center, housed in two of the village's original buildings. The program blends the island's culture with the ecology of the Chesapeake Bay, letting you experience a traditional watermen's society where people's livelihoods depend entirely on a healthy Bay.

Expect hands-on field investigations, mud between your toes, and conversations with island residents about the economy, culture, and future of their community. Space is limited, and every participant must bring a signed Health Form on the day of departure.
