 Become an Apprentice for a Day at CBMM this winter
The Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum (CBMM) in St. Michaels has announced the winter/spring 2012 schedule for its Apprentice for a Day program. During museum hours on Saturdays and Sundays from January 7th through May 27th, participants will be constructing a North Shore Sailing Skiff, “Miss B” Model. By constructing a boat from start to finish throughout the process, traditional Chesapeake boatbuilding techniques will be taught to participants of all skill levels under the direction of a CBMM shipwright.
Participants can be a part of the whole 21-week process, or can sign up only for specific dates. The “Journeyman's Special” package makes a great gift and includes any four days for one reduced price, and can diversify the experience to include several different skills.
Individual classes are $35 for museum members and $45 for non-members. The four-day “Journeyman’s Special” is $125 for members and $170 for non-members. Participants must be 16 or older, unless accompanied by an adult. Gift certificates for the holidays are also available.
To purchase a gift certificate or to register, call 410-745-2916. To download the complete Apprentice for a Day winter/spring 2012 schedule, visit www.cbmm.org/l_boatyard.htm.
