About This Activity
3-6 year olds: Children set sail as a holiday ship's crew! They explore the historic St. Roch, pack food, gear and a special surprise for the voyage, and build boats to carry holiday cargo. A map-and-compass adventure in Vanier Park and a sailor's Christmas tree make this a merry day at sea. 7-12 year olds: Students discover what it took to spend the holidays aboard a ship in winter. They explore the historic Arctic vessel St. Roch, plan supplies for a long voyage, test boat designs for buoyancy and cargo capacity, and navigate Vanier Park by map and compass, finishing with a sailor's holiday tradition of their own.
