Kids' Camps
Summertime and School Vacation Day Camps for ChildrenKids are invited to spend summers and school vacations with us!
Time off from school becomes a fun learning adventure at Penobscot Marine Museum! Your school-aged kids are invited to join us for specially themed day camps throughout the year. Our carefully designed programs keep kids engaged and provide them with plenty of opportunities for creativity and connection with fellow campers.
Penobscot Marine Museum’s camps have flexible pricing options to ensure our programs are available to as many children in our community as possible. Book your child’s spot early — space is limited!
We are able to offer refunds until 9:00pm EDT the day before the program, minus a 10% administrative fee. Refunds are not available after that time.
