Joseph Conrad Overnight Sailing Camp (Beginner/Intermediate)

This six-day program at Mystic Seaport Museum is for sailors ages 10 – 13 who already have basic sailing skills. Each day campers learn to sail traditional Dyer Dhow dinghies, and during afternoon apprenticeships campers can choose to focus on marine science, astronomy, marlinspike seamanship, and other traditional maritime skills such as art and music under the guidance of Museum experts.

Campers also participate in fun activities at night, including a Planetarium show and an interactive chantey show. Campers have the opportunity to explore the Mystic River, celebrate “crossing the equator,” and much more! Campers sleep aboard the square-rigger Conrad and can explore everything the Museum of America and the Sea has to offer.
