Educators on Board is a unique summer expedition program that brings together high school and elementary teachers from all over North America to take part in a very special sailing experience.
We know all you teachers out there work hard to make sure your students receive the best possible education in your classroom. That is why we are so excited to offer one lucky teacher the chance of a lifetime to sail with us this summer. We would like to offer you an opportunity be a part of a unique adventure experience!
We hope you’ll enter our ‘Educators on Board’ contest. The winner of the contest will join Sea Dragon’s crew as they venture along the Eastern Seaboard, visiting the Bay of Fundy and beautiful Halifax, Nova Scotia en route to Quebec City, one of the most historically rich and beautiful ports of call in Canada.
This expedition will kick off our four month journey through the Great Lakes of North America, and expedition we call the “One Water Story“. Educators joining us for this leg of the journey will have an opportunity to learn to sail or brush up on their sailing abilities, and develop their scientific communication skills. On board, teachers will work together to create interesting and motivating lesson plans and activities to take back to their home classrooms. They will also learn how to inspire their communities to work together to protect and conserve our incredibly valuable fresh and salt water ecosystems.
