Maine Maritime Museum is excited to host dedicated Homeschool Days, November 6, January 8, and March 5.

Each day will include 2 “showings” of the day’s educational offerings: an earlier program for younger children (ages 5–8), 9:30–11:00 am and a later program for older children (ages 9–12), 11:30–1:00 pm. 

Registration will open one month before each program date.

Pricing: $5/students, $14/adult

Pre-registration is required since we have limited space in our galleries (25 students max). Registration is available on a first-come, first-served basis.

Programs topics may include:

• Upon That Isle in Maine: Writing and Illustrating Stories like Chris Van Dusen

• Wabanaki Waterways: Technology and Culture

• Lobstering & the Maine Coast

• How to Build a Wooden Vessel

• Shipwreck Detectives: Marine Archaeology

Frequently Asked Questions

• I have children in both age groups (5-8 and 9-12). Can all of my children attend one session together?

  Yes! Choose which session works best for your children and your schedule, but be aware that our educators will have adapted vocabulary, pacing, historical detail, etc. in each lesson for its age group.   

• My child is a few years older than the older session’s age range (>12). Can I still sign them up?

  Yes!

• Can I leave my child at the museum for the program and pick them up after the lesson concludes?

  We ask that all child participants have an adult on campus in case of emergency. Feel free to arrange carpools or designate one adult from your homeschooling group to be the contact for all child participants. Maine Maritime Museum is not providing childcare during these lessons and need each child to have a contact adult on site.
