Registration for CBMM’s popular summer camps opens on Jan. 2, 2024, with an exclusive sign-up period for CBMM members.
St. Michaels, MD - Amid the chill of winter, the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum is gearing up for summer fun and the return of its popular summer camps for children ages 4-15.
Registration for these weeklong camps offering Bay-themed fun and learning is set to open on Jan. 2, 2024, with a two-week sign-up period exclusively for CBMM members. Open registration will begin on Jan. 16 and continue until camps are filled.
This year, CBMM will offer eight weeks of camps, beginning June 24. To register for the Sea Squirts (ages 4-6), Terrapins (grades 1-3), Summer Workshop (grades 4-6 & 6-9), or Museum Masters (grades 4-6 & 6-9) camps, visit cbmm.org/summercamps. Capacity is limited for these camps, so early registration is encouraged.
The full day camps cost $375 per week, while the half-day Sea Squirts camp cost is $165 per week. (Note: There is special pricing for the week of the Fourth of July of $300 and $130, respectively, because there is no camp on the holiday.) CBMM members are offered a 20% discount on tuition. Scholarships are available for campers with financial need.
To become a CBMM member and access early registration as well as the tuition discount, visit cbmm.org/membership or contact Membership Services Coordinator Debbie Ruzicka at 410-745-4991 or druzicka@cbmm.org.

CBMM summer campers explore the magic of the Bay’s people, animals, traditions, and environment while taking advantage of all CBMM’s 18-acre waterfront campus has to offer.
