Come Join the Fun at the Maritime and Seafood Industry Museum’s Sea-n-Sail Adventure Camp. Experience the History and Heritage of the Mississippi Gulf Coast through Sailing Trips, Fishing, Maritime Crafts, and Seafood Industry Field Trips.

Purpose of the Camp – The history and heritage of the Mississippi Gulf Coast extends back to the arrival of the French over 300 years ago. The Sea-n-Sail Adventure Camp is a day camp that is designed to bring about a greater awareness of our original history and maritime heritage through a variety of fun and educational activities. The camp is offered by the Maritime & Seafood Industry Museum of Biloxi, Inc., and is open to 6-12 year old students. The Maritime & Seafood Industry Museum, 115 1st Street, Biloxi, will serve as the base for all camp activities.

Camp Structure – The Sea-n-Sail Adventure Camp consists of a week of activities. Six sessions will be held during the summer. Daily activities will begin at 8 a.m. and end at 4 p.m. Campers will be grouped according to age: 6-8 and 9-12 years old. Camp staff for each group will include an instructor and two (2) teaching assistants who are CPR/First Aid certified.

Daily Activities – All daily camp activities will originate at the museum. Campers will be transported by bus to and from all fields of activity. Individual activities will range from one to four hours in duration. Camp activities include a variety of unique hands-on experiences which will make regional history and heritage come alive. The camp will begin with a welcome orientation on Monday morning. At this time, campers will meet staff members and be divided into groups. Campers must provide their own lunch and snacks. At times, lunch will be at a field trip or on board one of the schooners.

The Glenn L. Swetman/Mike Sekul – All Sea-n-Sail Adventure Campers will take sailing trips aboard one of the Museum’s famous replicas of the Biloxi Schooner.
