Jr Pirates – Afternoon Half Day Camps

Due to popular demand, our Jr. Pirates camp is returning this summer as a half-day program. Campers will be able to dress up as swashbuckling pirates as they sail and row around Port Townsend Bay looking for buried treasure. Instructors will share stories of famous pirates from the age of sail while teaching maritime skills like compass-making and knot-tying. Campers will even have the chance to design, build and decorate their own model pirate ships in the NWM Boatshop. This class runs from 1 PM to 4 PM.
