Registration is open for the Ocean Institute’s Buccaneer Adventure summer camp for children ages 7 to 8.
Set a course for adventure exploring the seas, encountering the unknown, learning to sail and becoming true buccaneers!
Learn about the life of a pirate at sea and experience the lost arts of the mariners. Each day is filled with hands-on activities including fun crafts, sail handling, rowing, storytelling, treasure hunts, encountering historic characters (perhaps a pirate or two!) and voyaging to sea aboard the R/V Sea Explorer.
Little Buccaneers complete their pirate training by the end of week and celebrate with “Dress like a Pirate Day.” Adventures include dockside activities aboard the tall ship Pilgrim and in our maritime facilities.
The week-long program will be offered nine times over the summer; the first begins June 19. The cost is $360. Register online or call (949) 496-2274 with questions.
