Historic St. Mary’s City (HSMC) will offer two Colonial Kids Workshops on May 26, from 10 a.m. until noon.

Children ages 9-14 and an accompanying adult are invite to learn about Geocaching and go on a techno-treasure hunt.  Bring your handheld GPS and learn what geocaching involves during a short presentation.  Then, get in on the fun as an experienced geocacher walks you through the process of locating a hidden treasure at Historic St. Mary’s City.  This cache is not listed on the official Geocaching web site.

Younger Colonial Kids, ages 5-9, and an adult companion, can explore A Pirate’s Life.  Step on board the Maryland Dove and learn what it was like to be a pirate in the 1600s. Find out what’s truth and what’s myth when it comes to pirate lifestyles. Choose your own pirate name, make your own pirate flag and maybe even find some buried treasure . . . .

Entry to either workshop is $10 for an adult/child pair and $8 for Friends members.   Additional adults are $10 and the fee includes full-day admission to the museum.  Please make your reservation by May 22 by contacting HSMC at 240-895-4990 or e-mail info@stmaryscity.org.
