Five Hours of Sailing and Fun at HRMM Voyager Camp for Kids
STEAM, Sailing and Fun at HRMM Voyager Camp for Kids

Join us this summer for an exciting all-day youth program combining the considerable strengths and history of the Hudson River Maritime Museum, now in its 47th year! The HRMM Voyager Program offers a truly unique and hands-on opportunity for young participants to learn sailing and boat construction while exploring key concepts in Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics (STEAM). 

Open to all skill levels, our Seafarers (9-12 years old) and Navigators (13-17 years old) will spend each day sailing for three hours, practicing boat building and woodworking for 90 minutes, and participating in other STEAM activities involving history, crafts, games, and tours on our solar tour boat, Solaris, all while fostering learning, friendship, and adventure. Seafarers and Navigators will come together for a mid-day lunch onshore.

​Students are welcome to register for one, two or more sessions as there will be new material each session. 

Camp meets from 9 am to 4 pm, Monday to Friday, on the session dates listed below. 

Voyagers is an official camp, certified by the Ulster County Department of Health. The Department of Health requires all camp participants to be immunized with all vaccines required for NY State public school attendance.
Written proof of vaccination must be submitted to our Health Director two weeks or more before the start of camp. 
Find information on required vaccines here:

The program is led by professional shipwrights, museum educators, and US Sailing Certified Instructors who help participants explore how STEAM principles apply in the woodshop, on the water, and in a variety of land-based environments.
