Now is your chance! Adults ages 17 and up can join us for a one-day introductory sailing class. You’ll specifically learn about small-boat dinghy sailing in the Museum’s custom fleet of Split Rock Sailing Dinghies. Basics include how to sail a small vessel\, how to right a capsized boat\, how to get out on the water\, how to sit in the boat\, and more. \n\n\n\nThis is a class for beginners or anyone looking for a refresher class on how to sail. If you have sailing experience and want to take one of our dinghies out on the lake to enjoy\, check out our Weekend Sailing dates. \n\n\n\nThe class will be held at the Museum in North Harbor. In case of inclement weather\, we will hold a rain date on Sunday\, September 17. The class will have a break in the middle of the day for lunch. Please bring a packed lunch and plenty of water to stay hydrated throughout the day. \n\n\n\n\nRegister Here!

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 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 are welcome to drive if needed. For accessibility requests and information please contact us by email at info@lcmm.org or by phone at 802-475-2022. \n\n\n\nTickets are $25 for kids and $40 for adults. \n\n\n\nPlease note that due to recent historic rainfall and flooding in the region\, the lake level has been higher than average. The lake is perfectly safe to enjoy by boat\, but higher water levels create conditions in which our small ROV may not be able to dive. No matter the lake level\, you will still be able to go on a boat tour\, see shipwreck footage\, and hear exciting stories! \n\n\n\n\nRegister Now!

The Nature of Aquatic 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\nJoin us in the Roost and 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.

Our robotic camera sends back real-time video to an on-board monitor as we share the vessel’s dramatic story.

The walk to Basin Harbor is approximately a half-mile on pavement\, and visitors are welcome to drive if needed. For accessibility requests and information please contact us by email at info@lcmm.org or by phone at 802-475-2022. \n\n\n\nTickets are $25 for kids and $40 for adults. \n\n\n\nPlease note that due to recent historic rainfall and flooding in the region\, the lake level has been higher than average.
