This program is free, but donations are greatly appreciated and will help support Center and MCBP educational programming.

Donations can also be accepted on the day-of in the form of a check made out to “Delaware Center for the Inland Bays” with “JUTC” written in the memo line.

Safety is always a priority throughout the duration of our educational programs. The Center and MCBP are following all federal and local guidelines pertaining to COVID-19 and its impacts on youth programs. During JUTC programs, participants are not required to wear a mask, regardless of vaccination status. The entirety of our programs take place outside, but it is not always possible to maintain a six-foot distance from one another during program activities.

Please send any additional questions to the Center’s Head Environmental Educator, Jackie Knoll, at jknoll@inlandbays.org
