Teens live an experience like no other! One of our Coast Guard licensed captains will skipper this unique vessel for a 4-day overnight sailing adventure. You will participate as crew on this large sailing vessel and will gain valuable team building and sailing experience. You will acquire more advanced seamanship skills involved in handling a 50,000 lb boat under power and under sail. Help organize more complex and advanced sail controls which allow you to trim up to five sails at once! Be introduced to coastal navigation, several boat systems, anchoring, and much more! Teamwork extends to meal preparation as well as operation of this Tall Ship and its dinghy for going ashore. All of these shared experiences help build confidence, lasting friendships, and common memories with empowerment! You can do this! It is not a ride along trip. We need you to participate! This is an ideal step up for our Teen Keelboat graduates.
This adventure takes place in the crown jewel of Lake Superior, the Apostle Islands National Lakeshore. Twenty one islands, seven lighthouses, crystal clear water and unparalleled shorelines await you!
