Mystic Seaport Museum homeschool classes

Homeschool: Sailing
Thursdays, September 17-October 22, 10:00 a.m.-1:00 p.m.
Explore the Mystic River with us, and step into a living classroom right in our own backyard. This tidal estuary-where fresh and salt water meet-is full of life, and we'll experience it firsthand.
Through hands-on exploration, we'll learn about the flora and fauna of the river, trace its hydrology and salinity, and see how the tides sustain this vital habitat. Along the way, students build a personal connection to the natural world and why it's worth protecting.
Perfect for anyone with a budding interest in science, wildlife, and the stewardship of our waters.

• Ages 8+
• Maximum enrollment: 20

Homeschool: "Diving Deep" in Brickwrecks: Sunken Ships in LEGO® Bricks
Mondays, October 26-November 23, 10:00 a.m.-1:00 p.m.
Historic and modern shipwrecks tell incredible stories of exploration, trade, tragedy, and discovery. Anchored by the Brickwrecks: Sunken Ships in LEGO® Bricks exhibition, this program invites learners to dive into the people, technology, trade networks, and environments that shaped-and sometimes doomed-famous vessels across the centuries. Each session explores a different time period and location in maritime history, examining the motivations behind a ship's construction, investigating what went wrong on its final voyage, and challenging participants to imagine better solutions for designing ships, protecting crew, cargo, and the ocean environment.

• Ages 7-13
• Maximum enrollment: 20
• Members: $218 | Non-members: $242
