Campers from our Sea Stars program this summer on the Mystic River
NEW PROGRAMS ON THE WATER Mystic Seaport Museum has never offered your “typical” youth sailing program. The Museum’s program has incorporated sailing in traditional Dyer Dhow dinghies with fun games and challenges using the Museum grounds and ships—for 75 years! Generations of sailors got their start sailing on a Dyer on the Mystic River. The program has been expanded to offer new ways for people to learn skills and experience the River. Earlier this year, the Museum’s Sailing Center was recognized by US Sailing with the Creative Innovations in Programming Award for community sailing centers for our commitment to offer sailing classes that incorporate additional important skills. The new programs now offered include powerboat handling, Girl Scout Mariners, and the Sea Star summer camp.
