SUMMARY:Introduction to Wooden Boat Building
DESCRIPTION:The introductory wooden boatbuilding class provides hands-on experience with fundamental boatbuilding concepts. The course teaches students to select wood\, design a boat\, and use various techniques like steam bending\, planking (carvel or lapstrake)\, and fastening to construct a small boat. The curriculum covers basic design\, essential tools\, safe workshop practices\, and the properties of wood\, culminating in a small project that builds confidence for independent boatbuilding. \nClass runs from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day. Class fee is $200 ($180 for Friends of the Museum). Minimum age is 16. Course size is limited\, and advance registration is required. Register below or by calling 252-504-7758.

SUMMARY:Model Boats
DESCRIPTION:In this three-day camp at the museum’s Watercraft Center\, children entering grades 3 and 4 will build their own model boat while learning about life on the water. As campers assemble their boats\, they’ll explore coastal waterways and discover the history and function of local workboats\, charter vessels\, and commercial fishing boats. Through engaging field trips and museum exhibits\, students will also learn about the types of fish caught in our region and the important skills needed to live and work on the water. They will use museum exhibits and field trips to learn about workboats and boats used for charter fishing and commercial fishing. The types of fish targeted by people fishing aboard these vessels will be discussed as well. \nThe program is part of the museum’s Summer Science School series. Its courses are designed to give children entering grades one to ten hands-on experiences with North Carolina’s environment\, history\, and culture.  Some courses take place outside the main museum building and may involve travel. Advance registration is required. Register online at ncmaritimemuseumbeaufort.com. Limited scholarships that cover course fees are available; email Education Curator Courtney Felton for scholarship information. For more information\, call 252-504-7758. \nSummer Science School programs are sponsored by the Friends of the North Carolina Maritime Museum in Beaufort.
