About
Education Programs
The Museum is an educational resource for teachers, both at our
Navy Point campus and in the classroom itself. Our Breene M. Kerr
Center for Chesapeake Studies has developed innovative programs
for educators for grades three through six to teach their students
about the crabbing and oystering industries of the Chesapeake Bay.
We also offer a variety of school, student, and group programs
for visiting the Museum, as well as summer classes and camps.

hunt. Bay Combers is a half day long program that runs for three
weeks during the summer where children not only learn about the
bay but experience things for themselves. It is a hands-on learning
"club" where kids explore the inside of a skipjack, go
nippering for oysters on Waterman's Wharf, go chicken-necking to
catch their first crab, and much more.

Bay Maritime Museum the 1st and 3rd Saturdays of every month for
storytelling, special tours, and hands-on art activities designed
just for them.
