In light of current events pertaining to the coronavirus, CBFS will remain closed until the summer season. 

Hello CBFS friends, we have missed you!
​We are continuing to navigate the COVID-19 pandemic and what that means for the future of CBFS programs. The health and safety of our participants and staff continues to be our number one priority.
​We are diligently updating protective measures and policies as necessary.
​
Our hope is to hold college courses and day programming, at reduced capacity, for summer 2021- pending local and national CDC guidance!
We are anxiously awaiting the day we can welcome back our participants to the beautiful coastal ecosystems of the Eastern Shore! Please continue to monitor our website and social media pages for the latest information regarding CBFS programs.
