Calling all Juniors, Cadettes, Seniors and Ambassadors! Have you ever
sailed aboard a 77-foot schooner called S/V Inland Seas while learning
how to be an excellent steward for Great Lakes Health? No? Then this
is the perfect event for you!
Are you curious what lies
beneath the surface of the Great Lakes? Have you ever wondered what it
means to be a scientist, sailor, or steward of the Great Lakes? Join
us on a Great Lakes Discovery sail for a three-hour, hands-on
adventure aboard the 77-foot schooner Inland Seas to find out!
Throughout this adventure you'll act as a scientist by
collecting fish, plankton, and organisms from the bottom of the lake
using REAL scientific equipment. You'll also get to try your hand at
some on board water chemistry and learn how scientists monitor the
health of the Great Lakes. During your sail you'll help raise the
sails and even try your hand at steering the ship!
