Welcome to the Duxbury Bay Maritime School!
The Duxbury Bay Maritime School is a nonprofit organization that exists as a gateway for all to Duxbury Bay. We have educational and recreational programs for both kids and adults with the majority of our programming taking place during the summer season. Outside of scheduled programs, DBMS hosts educational speaker series, social engagements and other events to connect with the Duxbury community and beyond. We hope whatever brings you to the William P. Ellison Campus leaves you with a lasting impression of the valuable natural resource that is Duxbury Bay.
We are thrilled to provide another year of learning & fun out on Duxbury Bay!
We have expanded our offerings from last summer so families can choose combinations of individual programs. Sailing and paddlesports can now be combined with marine science, powerboating and rowing! Click the “Explore Summer Jr. Programs” button to learn more. We look forward to getting kids back outside and on the Bay this summer! If you missed the Summer 2022 Junior Programs Webinar, head to our Summer Junior Programs page for a link to the recording.
