First rate educational institution offering essential experiences for K-12 and college. 4 sessions of 3-week summer college courses, week-long day and overnight for grade school kids and adults. Many families use the day camp while vacationing on Chincoteague Island. They take trips daily to sites all over the Delmarva coastal area. Can't recommend it highly enough!

The courses, materials, and education center is useful and educational. The campus life and living situations are sub par. Accessibility is low for those with disabilities. Staff is cold and unfriendly. The rules are strict and change constantly. I will not be coming back.

CBFS does a great job engaging the local community to learn about and help contribute to the local environmental health and knowledge base. Their staff are selfless and really enjoy teaching our kids. If you are in town on a weekend, take advantage of their programs.
