There is a lot to do at The Mariners’ Museum and Park during the summer! If you are looking to attend a program once a week, please join us for Maritime Mondays!
Whether you take your students on a field trip or we come to your site, just leave the work to us! We’ll provide the stories, artifacts, crafts, FUN and more – you provide the kids! They’ll have a blast (and learn something too) during one of The Mariners’ Museum and Park’s summer programs.*
*These programs are also available throughout the year. Please contact us for more information!

Geared towards younger audiences, Maritime Storytime explores the depths of maritime-related stories through print and craft; Whether exploring the depths with merpeople or flying the Jolly Roger with a band of pirates, this program will help kids live out their wildest imagination.
Suggested Age/Grades: K – 8th
Children can create their own (maritime) narrative while unmooring their imagination. Using mixed media–from fabric to shells–images pop off the page. Perhaps your story is of a mischievous mermaid or persnickety pirate, you decide! We can’t wait to see what you come up with!
Suggested Age/Grades: K – 5th
