ROAD SCHOLAR COURSES
Through a partnership with Road Scholar, Chincoteague Bay Field Station offers extraordinary educational opportunities to expand your physical and mental horizons and meet new friends. There are no grades or tests on Road Scholar programs. All that’s needed is an inquiring mind, an adventurous spirit, and the belief that learning and discovery are lifelong pursuits.
CBFS's Road Scholar programs are designed to offer adults academic experiences in coastal ecology and the natural history of Virginia's Eastern Shore. Participants are housed in modern suite-style residencies with two double occupancy bedrooms to one shared bathroom. Single rooms are available for an additional price. What is Road Scholar?
