Champlain Discovery Teen Expeditions & Kayak Building 2026

Do you know a water-loving, adventure-minded teen in need of a summer adventure? For over 25 years, Lake Champlain Maritime Museum has offered teen expeditions on Lake Champlain each summer for teens ages 13-16.

The Lake Champlain Maritime Museum has announced its 2026 teen summer programs and opened registration. Programs this year begin with a custom kayak building camp, June 22 - July 10. Kids build their own Chesapeake 17LT kayaks to keep—and use on the 7-day expedition that follows the building camp.

All teen summer programs follow a pay-what-you-can tuition model.
