Homeschool Teen Tall Ship Sailing Field Trip, Catalina Island

SHEA is excited to offer another fabulous opportunity for
homeschooling teens age 13 and up. This October 4-5, your teen has
an opportunity to learn sailing basics as crew member on a CIMI Tall
Ship Expedition to Catalina Island. Two full days of activity will
feature the Sail Training program, which teaches students the basics
of sailing, coastal navigation, marine biology, oceanography and
more. Each student participates as a crew member assisting in
raising the sails, manning the helm, and standing watch.
Participants will get to snorkel in the world class, amazingly clear
waters surrounding Catalina Island! For details on the ship and
program, visit our website.

Membership to SHEA is not required to attend this trip, but members
do get a discount. The cost for this weekend adventure is $219 for
SHEA members, $234 for non-members. Four meals are included (2 on
Saturday, 2 on Sunday), and the accommodations are quite comfortable
with separate male / female quarters and showers. Slots are still
available for both adult chaperones and students, but space on the
ship is limited and the deadline to register and get your deposit in
is April 11th .
