Black Jack
Adventure Camp
Overnight summer camp in the 1000 Islands
What do you get when you combine an 87′ tall ship, a beautiful river and time for games, swimming, ropes courses and activities? A pretty cool overnight summer camp! Under the watchful eye of certified crew (10:3 ratio), 12-14 year olds on these 5 day overnight camps learn to sail the tall ship Black Jack, explore the 1000 Islands and either sleep aboard or at other cool places along the St Lawrence River. Dividing into ‘watch’ teams they spend their time sailing and learning, swimming and having fun! This is a small group, very unique team building experience for tweens and teens.
- Adventure: ropes course, sailing, exploration
- Leadership: Small group dynamics
- Teamwork: Sail & work together
- Confidence: Navigate a tall ship
- Meals: Food is filling and nutritious
- Fun: Sailing, swimming, games & activities

Black Jack
The 87-foot Black Jack is more than 100 years old – launched as a tug in 1904, she was converted into a brigantine in 1952. The Black Jack sails the Ottawa River and the St. Lawrence Seaway, and has even been to New York for a Tall Ships Rendezvous. She just returned from the Rendez-Vous 2017 Tall Ships Regatta in Quebec City. She boasts 9 sails and has masts that soar 60 feet into the air!
