Voyager Summer Youth Program
Learning knots, building boats, and making anemometers at previous sailing and wooden boat school summer programs at HRMM.
Every summer, the Hudson River Maritime Museum offers kids and teens a chance to experience the magic and history of the Hudson Valley’s rich maritime traditions through on-land and on-water programs. The museum's Wooden Boat and Sailing Schools, located on the banks of the Rondout Creek in Kingston, host immersive multi-day courses that teach practical skills in sailing and woodworking which build self-confidence and forge new friendships.
In 2025, HRMM launched the Voyager Program. Perfect for ages 9-17, this hands-on, all-day summer camp blends sailing, boatbuilding, woodworking, and STEAM activities into one extraordinary experience. We offer Seafarers (9-12) and Navigators (13-17) six action-packed weeks of learning from professional educators, woodworkers, and US Sailing and SafeSport Certified Instructors. Whether exploring the Hudson’s rich maritime history, crafting boats, or enjoying three hours of daily sailing, kids built confidence, creativity, and lasting friendships.
