Hudson River Stewards

In the spring of 2015 the Hudson River Maritime Museum and Hudson River Sloop Clearwater partnered to provide a Common Core aligned, comprehensive history and environmental education program for the entire Kingston City School District fourth grade (appx. 500 students in 19 classes). Combining in-class programs with an on-site field trip in early May, the program was a success and HRMM and Clearwater partnered with Kingston, Saugerties, Livingston Manor, and Hyde Park school districts in 2016. 

The program includes an in-class document analysis program led by museum staff as well as an on-site field trip featuring eight rotating activities including museum tour, live music, geography puzzle, environmental science station, poetry workshop, and boat deck tours. The full program cost is $28/student. 

This program is also open to other districts in the Hudson Valley and can accommodate up to 125 students per day for the field trip portion. For an in-depth analysis of the 2015 pilot program, please read our Hudson River Stewards Report.

For questions and/or to book this program for your school district, please contact Education Coordinator Rita Carr at education@hrmm.org or 845-338-0071 ext. 11.
