New to Chesapeake Forum?

Many of our courses are HYBRID, meaning that you have the convenience of choosing to participate in person (always the best solution!), by Zoom, or to wait for the YouTube recording that comes out within 48 hrs of each recorded session.
When you register for a Chesapeake Forum course, you will immediately get a receipt. We will be sending you a reminder two days before the start of your course, and the morning of each course session.
If you are using ZOOM for the 1st time, you have to download the Zoom application to your desktop, tablet or phone first.
We Zoom download links and a great list of short videos to help you get acquainted with “Zooming” (Click below).
Remember as a favor to our volunteer course instructors to use your video so they can see you sitting at home paying attention!
