SUMMARY:Lois McClure Open Hours
DESCRIPTION:Families on canal boats similar to the Lois McClure would spend the majority of their year on the water\, and now you can get a sense of what canal boat life would be like too! Climb on board this replica of a 1862-class sailing canal boat to learn about the lives and culture of canal boaters\, through artifacts collected from two real 19th century canal boat wrecks. \n\n\n\nAccessibility: The path down to the waterfront is gravelly and steep\, and there is a steep ramp leading up to the Lois McClure. If you are interested in only browsing the artifacts from the two shipwrecks\, contact museumeducator@lcmm.org to set up time for a Lois McClure Collections showing in the wheelchair-accessible Visitor Center.

Tours will begin on the Museum Green. \n\n\n\nAccessibility: This tour will involve travel over gravel paths and grass for about one hour.

SUMMARY:21st Century Development in Nautical Archaeology
DESCRIPTION:Almost 250 years after the Revolutionary War\, many vessels from the war are no longer present. Yet\, nautical archaeology at historical sites can still uncover new information about important events by using technologies such as remotely operated vehicles (ROVs)\, metal detectors\, and sonar. In this free program\, learn about Revolutionary War events that happened along Lake Champlain and what our research can still teach us about them today. \n\n\n\nAccessibility: Key to Liberty has a wheelchair accessible ramp on the side of the building that points towards the waterfront (near Pine Grove). You can get to the building using either gravel paths or grass\, and if you want to minimize how much time you have to spend on uneven terrain\, you can enter through the Visitor Center right from the parking lot and exit through its other entrance.

SUMMARY:Canoeing for Conservation: The Nature of Invasive Species
DESCRIPTION:What are invasive species? How did they find their way into our waters and onto our shores? What can we do about them? And why does this conversation matter? \n\n\n\nIn the Lake Champlain Basin\, the number of invasive species have been growing ever since the colonizing organisms made their way to the region. From crowding out native species to decreasing nutrient resources in the waterways\, come learn about the effect of invasive species in our basin. \n\n\n\nDuring this 2-hour on-water program\, you will have a chance to take a deeper dive into the basics of invasive species: Which invasives are present in Lake Champlain today\, how they became so invasive\, and why reducing their presence is top of mind for lovers of our lake and of biodiversity. Come ready to ask questions and get to the bottom of how invasive species influence our lake! \n\n\n\nThis program uses the Museum’s fleet of canoes and participants should have at least a basic level of experience with canoeing. This program is best suited for those who feel they can get in and out of a canoe\, which requires a sense of balance as well as sitting down into a low boat\, and an ability to paddle for short distances. Children under 10 can take a middle seat at the bottom of the boat\, where they will just go along for the ride with no paddling expectation. \n\n\n\nBe sure to bring clothing that can get wet as well as water to stay hydrated. We will provide canoes\, paddles and personal flotation devises (PFDs). We also recommend you bring a hat and sunscreen to stay protected from the sun. This program is weather-dependent and we will communicate cancellations the morning of the scheduled outing. \n\n\n\nRegister Here!

Open to all rowing experience levels\, beginner to expert\, this 2-hour experience gives you the opportunity to learn how to row (or practice your rowing skills) in these large wooden rowing gigs and explore Lake Champlain from a new perspective. Participants must be 10 or older\, each boat seats 6 rowers. Younger children are welcome to join to join along for the ride\, but they will not be able to row.  \n\n\n\nBe sure to bring clothing that can get wet\, as well as water to stay hydrated.

SUMMARY:Environmental Justice on Lake Champlain
DESCRIPTION:While climate change impacts nature and ecosystems\, it also impacts people and their communities. To address these impacts\, a movement called environmental justice aims for solutions that benefit all communities equally. At this free experience\, learn about some of Lake Champlain’s environmental justice issues and which communities they disproportionately impact. You’ll also have the opportunity to reflect on action you can take as a steward of Lake Champlain.  \n\n\n\nAccessibility: Grass or gravel paths lead to the Clean Water Act area\, and two wheelchair-accessible ramps lead up to the platform on either side. To avoid travel over grass or gravel\, this event can also be held in the wheelchair-accessible Visitor Center upon request by emailing museumeducator@lcmm.org at least 24 hours before the event.

SUMMARY:ROV Shipwreck Tour
DESCRIPTION:**CANCELLED: Due to the impacts of recent flooding on lake conditions\, this event has been cancelled. If you were registered for this date\, further information has been sent to you via email. Future ROV tours are still on! A full list of dates can be found on our calendar.** \n\n\n\nExplore a shipwreck… without getting wet! There are hundreds of historic shipwrecks in Lake Champlain. Join us as we take a tour boat to the site of the Champlain II shipwreck and go for a “dive” using an underwater Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV). Our robotic camera sends back real-time video to an on-board monitor as we share the vessel’s dramatic story. Don’t miss this incredible experience- for all ages! \n\n\n\nWe will gather on the Museum green at 10:00 am and proceed to Basin Harbor as a group at 10:10 to begin the tour\, which will run from 10:30 to noon. The walk to Basin Harbor is approximately a half-mile on pavement\, and visitors may drive if needed.

SUMMARY:Lois McClure Open Hours
DESCRIPTION:Families on canal boats similar to the Lois McClure would spend the majority of their year on the water\, and now you can get a sense of what canal boat life would be like too! Climb on board this replica of a 1862-class sailing canal boat to learn about the lives and culture of canal boaters\, through artifacts collected from two real 19th century canal boat wrecks. \n\n\n\nAccessibility: The path down to the waterfront is gravelly and steep\, and there is a steep ramp leading up to the Lois McClure. If you are interested in only browsing the artifacts from the two shipwrecks\, contact museumeducator@lcmm.org to set up time for a Lois McClure Collections showing in the wheelchair-accessible Visitor Center.

SUMMARY:Birding & Boating
DESCRIPTION:Join us on ­­­­canoes for a 2-hour program of paddling and exploring the birds of Otter Creek. This family-friendly program welcomes everyone from beginners to experts! Smaller children can take a middle seat at the bottom of the boat\, where they will just go along for the ride\, no paddling required. Learn tips and tricks for paddling on the water\, or just come to explore the birds of Lake Champlain Basin. \n\n\n\nBe sure to bring clothing that can get wet as well as water to stay hydrated. Bring your own pair of binoculars\, we will have a couple pairs to pass around\, but not enough for everyone. We will provide canoes\, paddles and personal flotation devises (PFDs). We also recommend you bring a hat and sunscreen to stay protected from the sun. This program is weather-dependent and we will communicate cancellations the morning of the scheduled outing.  \n\n\n\nAccessibility: The boats are stable but wobbly\, so a good sense of bodily balance is helpful. The boats are stationed at the waterfront\, a moderately steep gravel path that leads to an ADA accessible dock located in North Harbor.  \n\n\n\n\nRegister Here!

SUMMARY:21st Century Development in Nautical Archaeology
DESCRIPTION:Almost 250 years after the Revolutionary War\, many vessels from the war are no longer present. Yet\, nautical archaeology at historical sites can still uncover new information about important events by using technologies such as remotely operated vehicles (ROVs)\, metal detectors\, and sonar.
