BOOTHBAY HARBOR, ME - Ocean Classroom’s Seafaring Adventure Camps are currently accepting middle and high school students with an interest in the maritime world. Seafaring Camp is a one-week co-educational learning adventure for teens aged 13-16, exploring the marine environment of the New England coast. Advanced Seafaring Camp, for teens aged 15-18, takes the experience to the next level on a two-week tall ship voyage across the Gulf of Maine to Nova Scotia and back.
All participants learn to crew a magnificent 19th
century-style schooner, standing watch, climbing aloft, and steering with pride
before a fresh breeze. They’ll observe whales, seals, and sea birds in their
natural habitat, visit historic ports, and absorb maritime culture through
songs and stories of the sea. This is an authentically rugged voyage, perfect
for young men and women with a passion for the ocean and the desire for a
challenge. No sailing experience is necessary for the experience of a lifetime:

The Discovery High School Semester at Sea
is a major voyage of discovery and adventure in which the traditions and
adventures of maritime life provide a unique context for education while
sailing over 4,000 nautical miles from the Caribbean to New England. Fully
accredited academics include oceanography, marine biology, maritime history and
literature, applied mathematics (navigation), and seamanship, along with leadership,
humanitarian service, and cultural immersion.
“Ocean
Classroom was one of the greatest experiences of my life and I would highly
recommend it to anyone who has the slightest bit of interest in the ocean or
anything related to it.”
“I’m
sure I could write a five page essay on how this one-week sailing trip has
impacted my daughter’s life and the decisions she’s going to make for her
future. It was an awesome adventure and an incredible learning experience.”
Our custom programs
range from one day to one semester adventures for schools, youth and community
organizations and continuing education for teachers.
