HCC offers hands-on pirate adventure for kids

Hagerstown Community College’s College for Kids summer enrichment program is offering a new class entitled, “Ahoy Matties! It’s A Pirate’s Life for Me!” for children entering grades two and three in the fall of 2008.

Children will learn about the adventures and lives of historical pirates and will also build a model pirate ship and learn about sea navigation, as well as create a compass and design a “Jolly Roger” flag. The class is offered daily from July 7 through July 11, from 8:45 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., on HCC’s main campus. The course will be team-taught by College for Kids instructors Jeanette Wagner and Stacy Kauffman. Cost is $144.
