SUMMARY:Boat Launch Day
DESCRIPTION:Join us to celebrate the launch of this year’s 25-foot rowing gig built by students!  \n\n\n\nOver the course of this school year\, a group of students from Middlebury Union High School and the Addison Consortium Program have been participating an alternative program with Lake Champlain Maritime Museum where they come to the museum weekly and learn how to build a 25’ wooden rowing gig. It’s been an incredible journey for all of them\, including a trip to the forest to learn how to select a tree that will be used to build a boat and literally building the boat from tree to finished vessel alongside our expert boat builders. The boat will join our fleet of rowing gigs that are used by high school rowing teams\, rowing clubs\, and summer trips. \n\n\n\nOn May 23\, with an audience of boat builders\, parents\, teachers\, and staff\, the students will present their finished boat\, share a little bit about their experience building\, and then we’ll parade them down to the harbor where they will launch their boat for the very first time. It’s a special moment for the Museum\, the schools\, families\, and above all the students.

SUMMARY:Spring Wave Race 2024
DESCRIPTION:The spring open-water rowing season for all middle and high school rowing teams ends with this seasonal championship race at Lake Champlain Maritime Museum! Over 100 youth rowers from around Vermont and New England will participate in races. All are welcome to join us and cheer these rowers on from the Museum’s harbor. \n\n\n\nEach season at the end of the Spring Wave\, the Museum’s Director of Maritime Programs Nick Patch also presents the Bradley Cunningham Award to a graduating senior rower\, nominated by coaches. The award is named after Brad Cunningham\, who was a participant and then junior leader in our Champlain Discovery summer kayak program for five years. He rowed and raced in our first pilot gig Spirit of Otter Creek launched in 1999. Brad was passionate about on-water programs\, knew how to lead by example\, and was a bright light of positivity for all who knew him. He tragically died in a ski accident in January 2001. We offer this award annually to the graduating senior rower that stood out as a positive role model and leader for our youth rowing community. \n\n\n\nYouth rowers must register to participate in this race through their rowing team or as part of their rowing season registration. Please check with your rowing coach if you are not sure if you are registered. The public is always welcome to attend races for free and cheer on participating crews!

In this program\, we will use the 25 by 35 foot Giant Map of the Lake Champlain watershed to reflect on our role in the cultures of the basin. We will also discuss the anthropology of climate change and visitors can join in for hands-on activities designed for families and visitors of all ages! \n\n\n\nThis program will take place outside on the flagpole green just outside of the Hoehl Family Visitor and Education Center. Program will be subject to inclement weather. Registrations ahead of time are appreciated but not required.  \n\n\n\n\nRegister Here!

SUMMARY:Philadelphia II Open Hours
DESCRIPTION:Soldiers in the Revolutionary War not only fought on boats\, they also often lived on them for months. Step aboard the Museum’s replica of the Revolutionary War gunboat Philadelphia to explore their living and working conditions\, understand the mechanics of the vessel\, and even row the oars!  \n\n\n\nAccessibility: The Philadelphia II is currently on the Museum Green. There is a staircase leading up to the boat\, and the boat is in the middle of a grassy area. However\, the rigging and cannon from the Philadelphia II are in the surrounding lawn\, and our staff would be happy to talk about the vessel as well as display props on the lawn.

SUMMARY:Is It Cyanobacteria?
DESCRIPTION:Ever wondered if your local pond or lake was safe for recreation? Cyanobacteria\, sometimes referred to as blue-green algae\, is naturally found in water and under the right conditions\, can form large blooms that release toxins into the water.  \n\n\n\nAt the Maritime Museum\, we test for cyanobacteria every week to make sure our harbor is ready for boating\, swimming\, and fishing. Join us in North Harbor to learn what to look for and help keep you and your pets safe. A demonstration of how to test the water and determine if cyanobacteria is present will be shown with information on how you can try it at home!

SUMMARY:Shipwreck Tour
DESCRIPTION:Explore 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 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 weather conditions\, the lake level may fluctuate. In higher water conditions\, the lake is perfectly safe to enjoy by boat\, but 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! In the event of cancellation due to severe weather\, we will notify you in advance and tickets will be refunded or transferred to an open date. \n\n\n\n\nRegister Here
