The Antique Boat Museum will be rolling out a new version of the programming previously known as Camp ABM and River Rat Days for the summer of 2020. Families have the option of enrolling children ages 5-14 in ABM’s new half-day summer camps for a week at a time or on a drop-in basis and the program can be extended to offer full-day programming by registering students for the age-appropriate sailing school during the same week. Special pricing is available for students of local school districts and museum member discounts apply. A free week of camp attendance is also included in the Museum’s new student membership.
The themes of many weeks of camp will be familiar to returning participants, including lighthouses, duck decoys, fishing, workboats and St. Lawrence River Skiffs. A full summer schedule, model weekly syllabus and registration information will be posted in February.
Questions about scheduling or registration can be directed to Amanda Dudley, Director of Education at amandadudley@abm.org or by calling 315.686.4104 x225.
