Alpha Academy Students Enjoy a Day on the Chesapeake Bay

The Alpha Academy Mentoring Program, supported by the Eta Eta Lambda Foundation, Inc., took mentorship to new depths—literally—by treating mentees to a chartered fishing trip on the Chesapeake Bay.

On May 25, 2025, young men from Annapolis High School, Arundel High School, and the Saturday mentoring cohort enjoyed a day filled with learning, laughter, and leadership in action. For many of the students, this was their first time on a boat, providing both a fun and confidence-building experience as they learned the fundamentals of fishing and teamwork.

Beyond the fishing lines and open waters, the trip represented the heart of Alpha Academy’s mission—to broaden horizons, build brotherhood, and create lasting memories that reinforce positive mentorship.
