Summer Adventure 2024 has come to a close, but many memories will be held by all. The Hull Lifesaving Museum hosted seven weeks of nautical adventures where children ages five to eleven learned to talk like a pirate (Ahoy, Matey!), discovered secret hiding places for crabs and periwinkles at the tidepools, created art, learned about the history of Joshua James and his lifesaving crew, and most importantly, made some terrific friends.  

We look forward to seeing everyone next summer! In the meantime, please visit us at the museum anytime. We are open all year round.
