Programs for CAMPS, Schools and Other Groups

Get On Board!

At the Sea School we believe that the challenge of living and working together in unfamiliar situations is one of the best ways to build any group’s friendship, mutual respect, self-confidence and understanding of the larger world.

We offer turn-key opportunities for groups to give their participants the thrill and adventure of a coastal sailing expedition or the satisfaction and accomplishment of building a wooden boat together.

Camps, schools, universities and other groups can join the Nova Scotia Sea School in custom-designed boat building or sailing programs. Partner group staff work closely with Sea School staff to ensure that programs fit their needs. Generally partner staff accompany participants on the course.

Crews of 8 to 20 participants can take part in our programs, which vary in length from one day to several weeks. Sailing trips are offered June through September, and boat building is offered year round.

Partner groups can even combine the two in an intensive program of 3 weeks spent building a small sailboat that is theirs to keep in the end, followed by a sailing voyage in our 30’ expedition boats. Alternatively, each participant can build their own sea chest in 10 days to take home.
