Summer 2020 Session I: Ship of Fools

The Ship of Fools

Micron pen, colored pencils
and digital ink

The first session of the Summer 2020 season will feature a mystery called "The Ship of Fools." This four-day adventure for detectives ages 7 to 11 runs on June 29 through July 2 from 9 AM to 4 PM, with After Hours until 5:30 PM as needed. We will be using Room 314 in Searles Science Building on the Bowdoin College campus. Friday, July 3 is the holiday, so the program will not run on that day.

This mystery draws on Russian folktales about the Fool of the World. Detectives must learn what combination of skills, knowledge, wisdom--and folly--it takes to steer a ship through the celestial seas. Good thing chickens are along for the ride! What can go wrong with chickens on board?

Our projects will most likely include celestial navigators in tiny, winged ships.
