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 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 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.
