Homeschool Day

Homeschool students and their chaperones are invited to CBMM’s spring Homeschool Day, selecting either a morning or afternoon program to follow the Chesapeake Bay blue crab on its journey from the Bay to the table. In this immersive tour, students learn about Chesapeake geography, biology, and economics through role play and hands-on activity. Students have a chance to walk in the shoes of those who earn their livelihood from the crabbing industry by working a trotline activity, culling their catch, picking stuffed crabs at a packing house, and ordering from a restaurant on a migrant worker’s wages. Families are encouraged to bring a lunch and picnic on campus. The Campus Challenge scavenger hunt will also be available for families to explore other museum highlights at their own pace. Individual families and co-op groups alike are welcome to attend.
