For students ages 12-16 years old

Our spring Teen Homeschool classes will be a 3-part series focused on kayaking and exploring the ecology of the Patuxent River and its tributaries. Each month, we will head out in kayaks to investigate different stretches of the river and the surrounding wetlands, observing how these ecosystems change with the season. Along the way, we’ll use nets, water-quality testing equipment, and our own senses to study the health of the river and discover the plants and animals that call this watershed home.

Because each session builds on the skills and knowledge of the previous one, we expect teens to attend all three sessions. No parent is needed on the water, but participants must be at least 12 years old.

During registration, you will be asked to agree to our kayak waiver. https://www.calvertparks.org/waiver.html/
