2011 Summer Program

To understand a pirate's life, look at his or her treasure. Construct a two-masted pirate brig with all its sails and crew and canons. Your ship will open to reveal your plunder. Make the obvious booty: coins, gold, jewelry, and rum. Make the surprises: indigo, sugar, ivory, jade and tea. Learn to read a compass and a pirate map. Discover buried treasure and share it with your crew.
