On Thursday, June 25, from 1:00 p.m. to 2:30 p.m., the New Hampshire Boat Museum (NHBM) will host Junior Skippers Lake Discovery Day. A free program designed for kids in kindergarten through the fifth grade, “Does it Float?” is the theme of June’s session.
“Kids will have a great time participating in hands-on educational activities and games,” said NHBM Executive Director Devon Kurtz. “They will also leave with a better understanding of how boats stay afloat and how to be safe on the water.”
Junior Skippers Lake Discovery Days take place on Thursday, June 25, Wednesday, July 15, and Thursday, August 20.
In addition to Junior Skipper’s Lake Discovery Days this summer, NHBM programs and activities of interest for kids (and families) include Boat Building, Boat Cruises in the Millie B, and Story Hour with Moultonborough Public Library. On Saturday, July 25 NHBM will host a book signing with children’s book authors Karel Hayes and Andy Opel, which will include crafts, a treasure hunt, and snacks.
