This all girls and only girls program is a blast for your 10 to 18 year old, or your adventurous group of Girl Scouts. It's about sailing, boats, navigation, knots and oh, yeah empowering the next generation of women!
You can come as a group or book as an individual! It is best for a pre-existing group, but if you want to come as an individual we will put you with a similar age group. But we do suggest bringing along a bestie, because that's the most fun!
This cruise runs from 9am to 12noon, on our tall ship MJ in St Joseph, Michigan. After a dockside welcome and safety briefing we will get underway and start our nautical skills and personal development training! It's all hands on as the girls work together to run the boat, set sails, navigate and steer. Each activity acts as a catalyst for discussions about real life struggles and victories. Our goal is for each girl to leave feeling proud, capable, valuable and like they had a good time out on the water.
This cruise will run from 9am to 7/9pm as we venture further out to the Lake and head North to South Haven. Due to the long day without getting off the boat, participants need to 14 or older to participate unless they are part of one scout group. The girls work with the crew to run the boat, keep watch, learn safety drills, and throw down plots (Navigation). Like the Home Port cruise, each maritime skill links to a facilitated discussion about navigating life's struggles and victories. We will serve two meals and lots of snacks. Our aim is for each girl to leave feeling proud, capable, valued, and like real tallship crew!
