Family Field Trip Day
July 13 , 10:00 am – 2:00 pm
Have you always wanted to join a field trip with your kids and family here at the Museum? We’re excited to welcome families to Lake Champlain Maritime Museum for our first Family Field Trip Day! This free day is for the whole family to participate in hands-on fun together as you explore archaeology, history, and our engaging campus.
Activities will focus on archaeology, boats, and conservation and we’ll even have a scavenger hunt in one of our exhibit buildings! Learn about how archaeologists work in the field, get a peek into the conservation process, and more. We’ll have multiple stations, activities, and guided tours for you to join throughout the day. Here’s an overview of the Family Field Trip Day schedule:
