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.

Event Details

When: Every Saturday in August • 11 a.m.–2 p.m.
Where: National Museum of the Great Lakes inside the Great Lakes Community Education Center.

What to Expect

• Hands‑on design & build: Plan, problem‑solve, and construct using provided Lego bricks.
• Showcase finale: See creations proudly displayed each day and celebrate each builder’s craftsmanship.

No need to sign up—simply drop in, grab some bricks, and let your ideas float. Visit every Saturday in August to build, learn, and play along the Maumee River at the National Museum of the Great Lakes.
