Summer Camp: Historic Voyagers–Navigating the River’s History

Travel through time this summer! Campers will dive into the world of archaeology, unearthing the mysteries of the past while learning about the Connecticut River’s history. They’ll investigate the Museum’s artifacts, go on scavenger hunts, and sail on the Onrust, a replica 17th-century yacht, as well as cruise on the eco-friendly research vessel RiverQuest. Campers will also learn about life in Essex, from Indigenous peoples to early European settlers. At the end of the week, campers will create their own exhibit to showcase what they’ve learned. These exhibits will be displayed in the Museum for friends and family to experience and enjoy.

Camp runs daily, from 9 am to 3 pm.
$385 for Non-Members | $347 for Members.
Camp is open to adventurers aged 6-11.
