We (CELC) have now taken students to the Chesapeake Bay, Maine and the Bahamas aboard Boundless with Captain Jeff of Different Drum Sailing Adventures
This is real-life learning!

Students learn to "run" the boat, taking on all aspects from raising sails and setting anchor to navigating a course and cooking in the galley!

Consider becoming part of a group for a wonderful summer expedition! You may contact Melinda at CELC with any questions or for more information.

Sailing is at once incredibly peaceful and thrilling. Truth is present at all times. Moving via wind power necessitates working with physics and nature, remaining flexible, adaptable, courageous, and being ready for anything. It enlivens the spirit.

It is something to see how students take to the responsibilities aboard Boundless as they learn the skills needed to run the boat and notice what is important in life.
