July 11-July 15
Virginia Student Leadership Expedition
Open to VA students entering grades 9-12

Join fellow high school students from across Virginia to connect, learn, and find inspiration as we explore environmental issues impacting Virginia’s major tributaries of the Chesapeake Bay! These massive freshwater waterbodies have a tremendous impact on the health of the Bay. We’ll travel to unique places, have real-world experiences, all while exploring the rivers, streams, and woodlands of VA. This one-of-a-kind expedition will equip students to become the next generation of environmental leaders, developing skills in advancing advocacy, raising awareness, and taking action to address problems in their communities. Students will acquire new skills, a deeper knowledge, and appreciation for Saving the Bay and its tributaries.

Registered participants will meet CBF Educators at a central location and spend five consecutive days exploring and investigating one of the main watersheds of VA. All transportation, lodging, and meals will be provided during the expedition. Participation will be determined on a first come, first served basis.
