RULE # 4 - Look Good - We need a new VIDEO!
We need a video that we can show in schools, at events, on our website and through You Tube. We have the footage, the photos and the testimonials, we just need a creative volunteer to put it all together! This is a perfect project for a student studying in film or photography needing volunteer hours. If you have skills in photoshop, power point and any film maker programs, you should contact us!
If this project is for you? Contact us at heather@seaschool.org or 902 423-7284
Take it Outside Program is underway!
'Take it Outside is a great place to go after school to learn about sustainability, the environment and how we can all do our part to make a better world!' - Participant 09
The Citadel High School 'Take It Outside' Program is now in its 3rd Year and is a growing success. In three short years, this program has doubled its enrollment and includes youth in grades 9-12 from a wide range of backgrounds. The idea is to encourage youth that might otherwise not be engaged in outdoor activities, to take their
learning outside of the classroom.
A Clown in need, is a clown indeed! Denma came to the Sea School as a sailing student and has since explored career opportunities in outdoor education, carpentry, sustainable building, music and now ventures into the crazy world of clowning. Denma will be training for 2 months to study with the great Philippe Gaulier.
