Maritime Adventures (Formerly DBA)
8:30-2:30PM, 6 hrs/Day, 5 days
Most of the programs at DBMS run at varying times each week due to the timing of the tides in Duxbury Bay. Our Maritime Adventures program offers a convenient schedule for working parents and runs from 8:30-2:30 PM every week. This program is great for kids to dip their toes into ALL the fantastic programs at DBMS!
Frequently Asked Questions
- Registration is broken into three age groups: 6-7-year-olds, 8-9-year-olds, and 10-11-year-olds.
- Please pay attention to the age group when registering. We CANNOT guarantee that we will get your child into the appropriate age group if they are registered for the wrong one.
- Because this program meets at both high and low tide, activities vary.
- Examples of high-tide activities include kayaking, sailing, snorkeling, fishing* and swimming.
- Examples of low tide activities include marine science labs, lawn games, arts & crafts, knot tying, motorboating to Captains Flat, and field trips to local landmarks such as Duxbury Beach, Standish Monument, and Shipyard Beach.
- On the water, activities depend on wind, fog, rain, and the timing of high tide each day.
