The 2026 Youth Summit will be held on Thursday, May 28, 2026 at Sandy Point State Park (9:00 AM - 1:00 PM)

Check back here in early 2026 for registration information.

The annual Maryland Green Schools Youth Summit is an exciting opportunity for students and teachers to explore local environmental programs and connect with resource providers.

The event will celebrate both newly awarded and returning Green Schools and Centers. Whether or not your school is being recognized this year, all are invited to participate in the in-person Youth Summit, featuring award ceremonies, youth leadership activities, a green career fair, and an environmental literacy fair. This event offers hands-on learning, opportunities for connection, and a chance to explore and celebrate environmental education.

Every school in Maryland is invited for a nominal fee of $2 per student, chaperone, and teacher. For groups of over 100 people, please contact greenschools@maeoe.org. The park's capacity is for 2,000 people and we encourage as many schools as possible to take advantage of this opportunity.
