About the event

Capt. Scupper’s Kid’s Club: Recycled Regatta
Every Saturday in July | 11 AM – 2 PM

Located in the Great Lakes Community Education Center | Included with Museum admission, free for members and Museums for All

Let your imagination sail with our Capt. Scupper’s Kids Club, supported by the Darrell & Jean Fox Fund! Throughout July, young engineers and their families are invited to design, build, and race mini‑boats made entirely from recycled materials. From empty milk jugs to scrap cardboard, anything rescued from the recycle bin can become a worthy vessel in our indoor regatta course. The Recycled Regatta is funded by the First Solar Community Giving Fund of the Greater Toledo Community Foundation.

What to Expect
🚢 Hands‑On Boatbuilding: We’ll supply basic recycled items (and encourage you to bring your own). Museum educators guide participants through buoyancy and balance tips.
🏁 Race Day Fun: Test your craft’s ability to float, carry cargo, and sprint down a short waterway. Tweak and re‑race as often as you like.
♻️ Sustainability in Action: Discover how creative reuse can turn “trash” into treasure while protecting our Great Lakes ecosystem.
⚓ Collect Your Scupper Sticker: Completing the regatta earns Kid’s Club members their second Captain Scupper Sticker!
Additional Details

Ideal Ages: 13 and under, but all families are welcome.

Admission: Free for NMGL members and Museums For All Participants. Included with Museum admission. No registration required—drop in any Saturday in July between 11 AM and 2 PM.

Let’s prove that with a little innovation and a lot of teamwork, even yesterday’s packaging can race to a greener tomorrow!
