Set sail on an exciting maritime adventure with our Jr. Mariners summer camp, where kids explore the maritime world through the work of real-life mariners and engage in fun hands-on activities from our Point Hudson campus. Campers aged 7–10 delve into the craftsmanship of skilled shipwrights, discover the sea shanties of seasoned sailors, visit local boat shops, and embark on a quest for messages tucked in bottles! Time spent out on the water allows our Jr. Mariners to experience the exhilaration of sailing on large sailboats and learn to navigate rowboats and wooden power boats. Our team of maritime instructors, all certified in CPR and first aid, not only possess a deep passion for boats but are also skilled at transforming every moment into pure, enjoyable fun.

All Junior classes will take a trip to Elevated Ice Cream & Candy Shop on one of the program days, typically Friday. The price of this is included in your program fees.
