| Let DCMM summer camps ignite your passion for exploration! DCMM Education is sponsoring two camp experiences this summer and registration is now OPEN! |
Sign up for one – or both! – of the summer camp experiences at the Door County Maritime Museum!
Life at a Lighthouse Camp at the Cana Island Lighthouse
Maximum Capacity: 15 campers
Dates: Monday, June 16 — Friday, June 20
Time: 9am until noon
Ages: Rising 5th, 6th, and 7th graders
At Life at a Lighthouse camp students will get to learn about what life was like as a lighthouse keeper and assistant keeper! We will make recipes that lighthouse keepers would have made, discover how they and their families entertained themselves, and learn all about the ins and outs of water rescues. We’ll also investigate how and why we have this knowledge by looking at some historical documents and learning how we assess a site using archeological investigative techniques.

Ocean Exploration Camp at the Door County Maritime Museum in Sturgeon Bay
Maximum Capacity: 25 campers
Dates: Monday, July 7th — Friday, July 11th
Time: 9am until noon
Ages: Rising 5th, 6th, and 7th graders
We’re taking a deep dive into the ocean realm in Ocean Exploration camp! During this week we’ll be learning about the impact of land use on the oceans, coastal and deep-sea ecology, how coral reefs live and thrive, and conservation challenges and successes to these unique habitats. Note: a preserved animal dissection will be offered during this camp. The dissection is optional and there will be alternate activity offered if campers would like to opt out of the dissection. This camp is being offered by popular demand of area students and parents!
