This 7-day sail training voyage is a unique opportunity for youth to develop leadership, teamwork, and problem-solving skills while exploring the beauty of the Great Lakes and St. Lawrence River. Living aboard a traditional tall ship, participants experience life as a crew member—raising and handling sails, keeping watch, and supporting one another in a hands-on, structured environment.
​
While the ship operates without modern conveniences like winches or self-furling sails, the galley is modern and meals are plentiful, ensuring comfort below deck. Safety is our top priority: the voyage is fully supervised by experienced crew and trained instructors, with structured routines and watch systems to support every participant. ​
