North Bay

I just went to visit North Bay Environmental camp in North East, Maryland. It is 350 acres situated on the Chesapeake. The mission of the camp is to educate sixth graders in environmentalism as well as character education. It was a very exciting thing to see. The students stay for a week - for many it will be a first week away from home! The whole atmosphere is about fun, learning, and empowerment. I am very excited about the possibilties. We are planning on taking our students in early January - hopefully it will not be too cold!
