Programs and Events

The Center sponsors public programs throughout the year including pontoon boat rides, canoe and kayak trips, children's programs, nature walks, summer camps, and lots more! Most programs are by registration only; however, we do offer a series of free drop-in programs that require no registration, such as Critter Dinner Time, Meet a Critter and Nature Tales. Programs are designed for families and the general public. For group program registration, call or email Kriste Garman, Park Naturalist, at KSGarman@harfordcountymd.gov.

Check out our quarterly Calendar of Events for a listing of all our fabulously fun environmental education programs.  Pick up a copy at the Center or sign up on our free eCALENDAR (at the bottom of every page) to have one sent right to you.

 

Program registration information:

We now have on-line registration. Go to the Home Page or Calendar of Events, choose "Click here for online registration" and follow the instructions. Payment is due at time of registration. 

Space is limited, so registration is required for all programs, except Drop-In programs.

Parents attend children's programs only where specified. All programs meet at the Center unless otherwise noted.

NEW Cancellation/Reimbursement Policy:

If you need to cancel registration for a program, you must call the Estuary Center at 410-612-1688 so we can initiate reimbursement.

If the Estuary Center cancels a program, we will initiate reimbursement.

There are no reimbursements for cancellations received less than a week before a program.
