July 10, 10 AM - 3 PM : SUBMARINE PATCHES
Every submarine has its own unique patch. See some real ones in the Museum's patch displays and then make your own to take home!- July 16, 10 AM - 3 PM : BOTTLE ROCKETS
July 20 marks the 50th anniversary of the first launching of a Polaris missile from a submerged submarine. Celebrate by creating your own plastic-bottle rocket and launching it in our parking lot. See how high it flies! - July 24, 10 AM - 3 PM : BATTLE FLAGS
Many subs, especially those that fought in World War II, designed battle flags to celebrate their accomplishments. Take a look at some real flags and then make one to take home! - July 30, 10 AM - 3 PM : HALFWAY DAY
Mark the midpoint of summer the way submariners mark the midpoint of their time at sea – with special games and activities! - August 7, 10 AM - 3 PM : SUBMARINES & TARGETS
Submariners like to say there are two kinds of ships: submarines and targets. Learn how subs launch torpedoes by making your own and then "firing" it at a target. - August 14, 10 AM - 3 PM : PAPER-TOWEL-TUBE SUBS
The Museum is filled with models of all different kinds of submarines. Have a look at a few and then try your hand at making one out of a paper-towel tube. - August 21, 10 AM - 3 PM : SOUND-POWERED PHONES
The phones used on subs are powered only by the sound of your voice. Try out some of the Museum's sound-powered phones and then make your own version with cups and string. - August 28, 10 AM - 3 PM : SHIPS' BELLS
Every sub has its own bell – and they're loud! Try making one of your own – which won't be quite as noisy – with a flowerpot and a jingle bell. - September 4, 10 AM - 3 PM (Labor DayWeekend): ZIPPER PULLS
Sailors who qualify as submariners earn their "fish," a special pin they wear on their uniforms. Get your own fish by making a zipper pull using colorful marine-themed beads. Perfect for a jacket or backpack!
