Where does the Chesapeake Bay begin? In the streams we can wade across! Campers will explore the streams and wetlands of the Patuxent River at Jug Bay. Each day we’ll discover the role that forests, wetlands, and people play in determining the health of the river and the Chesa¬peake Bay. We’ll measure water quality, search streams for insects, frogs, and fish, and canoe through the marshes. The Thursday campout features games, crafts, and a night hike.
