Capt. Scupper’s Kid’s Club: Lego on the Lakes

Young builders, put your skills to work with our Capt. Scupper’s Kids Club, supported by the Darrell & Jean Fox Fund! Every Saturday in August, our Great Lakes Community Education Center transforms into a Lego shipyard where kids and their families can engineer their own Great Lakes vessels. Whether it’s a classic schooner, a sleek cruise liner, or a miniature version of our Col. James M. Schoonmaker or Museum Tug Ohio, the only limit is creativity.
