The Sea School is probably different from anything you’ve ever experienced. It is an adventure program where you and your crew are in charge. You navigate around deserted islands, explore the coast, hike in the woods, build a boat or shape a surfboard the way that you want to. On a Sea School adventure you laugh a lot, you challenge yourself, you make friends for life, you learn a lot about yourself.
In the summer come on a 5 or 7-day overnight sailing adventure (ages 14-18) on one of our classic wooden sail boats. In the fall, winter and March Break take a boat-building course or come on a wilderness adventure in backcountry Nova Scotia.
