School on the Water Field Trip to Adkins Aboretum

Sponsor a Trip for the Kids

Larry Griffin started the School on the Water camp five years ago to make sure that these local Annapolis kids would not fall through the cracks in society. The campers come three days a week for free to experience trips outside of Annapolis, time on the Chesapeake Bay and, this year, interactions with artists at Maryland Hall. We have kids that have been with us from the beginning embracing the mentoring of our crew.

On August 6, the Adkins Arboretum will have the kids come to learn about local streams and forests. Adkins Arboretum is a 400-acre native garden and preserve on Maryland’s Eastern Shore dedicated to promoting the appreciation and conservation of the region’s native plants. The Adkins team is enthusiastic about having our crew and making special accommodations for their trip.

Please make a donation for the Adkins Aboretum trip through our website to help the kids with transportation, lunch, and admission. For $500, we can cover the cost of the day for 35 campers and 7 counselors for an adventure outside of Annapolis. You can send $10 or $100 as each trip will incur different costs.
