Our Story
In 1997, a handful of educators from Maryland’s Eastern Shore came together to build a replica of the 1768 schooner SULTANA to help students better understand the Chesapeake Bay. More than two decades later the Sultana Education Foundation (SEF) has grown to serve more than 14,000 students and teachers annually with a grade-appropriate progression of Maryland State Department of Education (MSDE) certified programs in history and environmental science. SEF has also become an important resource for individuals and families, providing summer enrichment programs and outdoor experiences for the public. Whether paddling in the wake of Captain John Smith, sailing on the schooner SULTANA, exploring land-use issues at the Lawrence Wetlands Preserve, or serving as a citizen scientist at the Holt Education Center, participants in SEF’s programs gain a better understanding of the Chesapeake Bay and the roll they can play in saving this national treasure.

Setting Sail on the 1768 Schooner SULTANA
A highlight of our summer camps is often when the engine is turned off and participants get to raise sails and feel what it was like to travel on the water in the 18th century.

Просмотров 108Год назад
CHESAPEAKE MAGIC!!!! While on a sunset cruise with his wife Michelle, Sultana Education Foundation Vice President Chris Cerino encountered a large pod of dolphins chasing schools of bait fish on the upper Bay near the mouth of Worton Creek. This is extremely rare this far north in the estuary. We hope you get out on the waters of the Bay this weekend and find some Chesapeake magic of your own.
