Summer Day Camp 2013

Mystic Seaport offers a number of Summer Day Camp programs for boys and girls ages 4-16. Summer Day Camp is a wonderful and unique learning adventure where meeting new friends is fun and easy. All of our programs are licensed by the State of Connecticut and are staffed by experienced Museum Educators. Each day we explore a subtheme, based on the subject of the camp week. Campers bring their own lunch and picnic together each day. Limited enrollment means your child gets individual attention.
