This 5-day Camp focuses on a day in the life of the people who lived in Old Key West during the golden age of wrecking. Participants will be challenged to test their maritime skills in our wrecker's race during salvage operations as they collect goods for auction. This program features historic stories, period arts and crafts, field games, a marketplace, and courtroom antics where our judge award licenses, impose fines and hears all cases.
- Ages: 7-11
