MARITIME CAMP

Five days... four nights... the adventure of a lifetime!

For students in grades 9 - 12

 

Salt Filled Fun!!
It takes a lot of work to sail a traditional schooner. During their week aboard the A.J. MEERWALD, these young sail trainees learn to work together for a common purpose. From hauling sails aloft to working in the galley, students learn their individual efforts contribute to a larger team. A week of sail training is a once in a life-time experience that combines adventure with real-life lessons in team building, self discipline, and leadership.

Anchored deep within each campers sailing experience will be eye-opening educational opportunities that infuse sail training and environmental science (species identification, water quality testing and renewable energy) fostering new perspectives for all onboard.
