Capt. Scupper’s Kid’s Club: Recycled Regatta

Let your imagination sail with our Capt. Scupper’s Kids Club: Recycled Regatta, presented by Cleveland-Cliffs and supported by the Darrell & Jean Fox Fund. Throughout June, 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. 

• 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.
