Join Psyche for the first reenactment of the season. Psyche will square off against the Simcoe Squadron and other boats in intense naval battles and sailors' challenges. Come as a spectator to see the show or get in on the action!

Participants: Try out the reenactment side of what we do. Help sail and row the boat, and hear the roar of cannon and musket. Then develop your sailing skills in friendly challenges against other vessels. Loaner costume is available. Day trippers welcome. Overnight 1812-style camping and cooking is also an option.
