Sailing Educational Adventures (S.E.As) is currently recruiting for
our 2015 season.
S.E.A Programs is an educational youth program that provides sail
training, kayaking and science curriculum to high schools in Canada.
Spend the spring and fall in a new office…sailing around the Gulf
Islands along the west coast of British Columbia, teaching youth how
to sail and kayak, about the ocean and forests, and how to work as a
team working towards a common goal. Wake up to sun shining through the
trees, cruise past pods of orca, go to sleep under the stars as the
moon rises over the mountains, all in a days’ work.
Our philosophy is embodied by our name S
ailing. Educational.
Adventures. We utilize the outdoor classroom to build relationships
and inspire connections between youth and the natural world. Through
experiential learning our program focuses on personal growth and
independent exploration while developing leadership and team building
skills.
