Summer Camp: Sailor Life & Pirates

Recurring
Connecticut River Museum 67 Main St, Essex

Don’t miss the Museum’s most popular week of camp. Have you ever wondered what life was like out on the open water? This week, we will learn about real pirates & sailors—what they did, what they looked like, and where they traveled. We will dress in pirate garb as we learn about the vessels they sailed, the flags they flew, and how they navigated. We’ll also set sail on the open water of the Connecticut River aboard the Onrust. Arrrr you ready? Due to this week’s popularity, we are running this camp twice this summer! Sign up for one or both! Camp runs daily, from 9 am to 3 pm. Camp is open to adventurers aged 6-11. Questions? Email our Camp Director, Lauren Bennett-Dionne lbdionne@ctrivermuseum.org. Non-Members: $385 Members: $347

Summer Concert Series – Local Honey

Ivoryton Village Green Ivoryton

The Park & Rec summer concert featuring Local Honey scheduled for tonight, Tuesday July 8th, has been cancelled. The National Weather Service said that a "slow moving frontal boundary will interact with a tropical air mass to bring showers and thunderstorms this afternoon and evening. Locally heavy rainfall is possible and rainfall rates may be near, or exceed, 2" per hour at times. This rainfall could lead to flash flooding." The weather service said the severe thunderstorm threat is most likely between 2-10 p.m. and that a "few thunderstorms may be severe with damaging wind gusts in excess of 58 mph." The best chance for severe thunderstorms is in lower Fairfield County, but there is a chance all across the state. Thank you for your support and we look forward to seeing you at one of our upcoming summer 2025 concerts.
