What teachers, parents, and children are saying about the programs YOU can help make possible:
“This is the first program I’ve encountered that really means business about making hands-on Chesapeake Bay education and youth leadership development accessible to all children who wouldn’t have the opportunity otherwise. You did everything possible to make sure our kids could get something out of this. More than 3,000 kids were helped in your first year on a budget that’s a fraction of what other organizations benefiting the community this much are spending. Wow, your passion and your finished product is an inspiration to anyone who questions what is possible in life.”—Choice Middle Schools Program Social Worker
“It’s amazing that an all-volunteer organization can produce this high caliber a program and benefit thousands of children all in its first year on very limited resources. This was by far the best field trip these kids have had and I can’t wait to bring my students back for year #2.”—Parkville High School Life Skills Teacher
“My students have participated in three other hands-on environmental programs elsewhere this year. Chesapeake Bay Memories had the most enthusiastic and personable educators who kept the children engaged with enjoyable activities built from a very diverse knowledge and experience base. Pretty incredible, especially for being the only organization who didn’t charge us any money to participate. Hats off to the dedicated volunteers who made this possible. Thanks for the memories.”—Sandy Plains Elem School Teacher
“Thanks for helping the children think about their futures. Chesapeake Bay Memories covered so much ground with these children that they hadn’t been exposed to before. Thank you for this one-of-a-kind opportunity that more children should have.”—Parent of Cockeysville Police Athletic League Child
A lot of people who regularly enjoy the Bay, take for granted that there are so many children who don’t have the same opportunity for ACCESS to the Chesapeake Bay that they enjoy.
“I never knew the Bay was so close by. I didn’t think the Bay was a part of my life until today’s trip. It was neat learning about Hart-Miller Island at the tour there. I loved driving Seaclusion with Captain Rob’s help. Mr. Tom helped me bring in my first fish after lunch. I can’t wait to show my friends the pictures. I want to come back and help you teach other kids.”—Deep Creek Middle School C-Safe Program Student Who Lives Only 5 minutes from Baltimore County’s Waterfront
