Teachers & Students, Sailing & Learning
We are scheduling for our 2011 sailing season and would love to host
your class or youth group aboard Puget Sound's environmental tall ship.
|
There are only a few more opportunities to volunteer aboard Adventuress this winter. Work Weekends are great opportunities to learn, have fun and prepare our historic ship for her upcoming sailing season!
January 22 - 23 February 19 - 20 March 10 - 11
****Please RSVP
if you are planning to join us for a work weekend and if you need a
bunk. We need a head count for meals and bunk space is limited this year
due to the winter projects.
WORK WEEKEND COOKS NEEDED! Want to try out your vegetarian cooking skills in Adventuress'
galley? Give it a shot in our supportive atmosphere. Plan for one or
two meals during a winter work weekend. Good food makes a happy and
productive crew.
DAY-LONG and WINTER-LONG VOLUNTEERS We need you! Come volunteer for a day, month or all winter and help with Adventuress' restoration and maintenance needs. Work and learn side-by-side with traditional shipwrights, and experience Adventuress in a way few others have. Contact us for more info |
