KINGSTON, N.Y. – The Hudson River Maritime Museum announces a new Saturday morning drop-off program for children age 5 - 10 years old (K - 3rd Grade) for the winter and spring of 2023. Join the museum the second Saturday of every month as history comes alive through engaging museum walks, projects, and storytelling.
This small, once a month program will provide a behind the scenes look at the maritime and ecological history of Rondout Creek and the Hudson River while having fun with friends. Professional museum educators will lead interactive lessons, STEAM themed projects, and facilitate museum exploration. Every month’s session will be a new theme. Families can register for one or all five of the sessions. The museum uses all of its resources, including the Wooden Boat School, to create a meaningful experience for the children in the program. According to Kerry Gallagher, the program’s creator, “All of the activities, from the artifacts we see in the museum to the hands-on project and stories, are related to the day’s theme. This creates an environment for learning using a variety of engaging and unique activities”. Programs take place from 10am – 1pm, January through May, 2023. The dates of the programs are Jan. 14, Feb. 11, March 11, April 8, and May 13. The program includes a T-shirt, snack, and take-home project. Discounts are available for siblings, members, and multi-week registrations. For more information, contact Kerry Gallagher or Michael Poerio at 845-338-0583 ext. 16 or [email protected].
