To reserve your young learners spot, please complete the initial registration information below. If there are multiple participants in a group (e.g., club, class, family, etc.), a separate form will need to be submitted for each individual. An email containing additional information and registration form(s) will be distributed closer to the program date.
 
This program is FREE, but donations are greatly appreciated and will help support Center and MCBP educational programming. Donations can be submitted through the following link: https://tinyurl.com/vbc5tf8m. 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.

As “Journey Up Coast” is a program and not a camp, a parent or guardian will be required to remain on-site for the duration of the program. Parents may have a guardian present in their place but will be required to indicate such information on our formal registration form. The formal registration form and further details will be shared the week of June 1st.

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.
