Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, ABM has postponed the introduction of our new day camp program until the summer of 2021. We thank all of our community partners and registrants for their enthusiasm for this program and look forward to seeing you next year.
The Antique Boat Museum now has a new version of the programming previously known as Camp ABM and River Rat Days for the summer of 2021. 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 day-to-day 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.
