The Ocean Institute will offer week-long Buccaneer Adventure Camps beginning July 6, 12, 19 & 26 and August 2, 9 a.m. – 4 p.m.
Set a course for adventure as we go back in time to the Golden Age of Sail, to a world of wooden ships, buried treasure and yes… pirates! Learn what life was like for pirates at sea and experience the lost arts of the mariners. Each day is filled with activities that challenge young sailors including fun crafts, sail handling, rowing, storytelling, treasure hunts, encountering historic characters from the past, and going up the mast in a boatswain’s chair. Young lads and lasses may even cross paths with other pirates during the week! Adventures are dockside aboard the tallship Pilgrim the Maritime Learning Center.
Cost $270, for ages 7 & 8. Cruise information and reservations: visit www.ocean-institute.org or call (949) 496-2274, dial “0” for the operator.
