Saturdays for Kids

Selected Saturdays through March 2010
Ages 4 - 6, 10:00 to 12:00 o Ages 7 - 9, 1:00 to 3:00
The Saturdays for Kids program, designed for children ages four through nine, offers two hours of fun-filled and challenging hands-on games, arts and crafts, and storytelling on Saturdays during the winter. Small classes, engaging projects, and a unique setting facilitate the learning process and offer kids a special place and opportunity for early engagement in building a love of the Chesapeake Bay and the region.

Each day will feature a different program inspired by one of our innovative displays, parts of our large campus, or a historic vessel. Classes will include instruction in art and history as well as science and will incorporate painting, printmaking, drawing, mixed media and a wide variety of hands-on activities. Children participating in the Saturdays for Kids will increase their understanding of the region, develop critical-thinking and analytical skills, and gain confidence in their abilities.
