Registration is open for the Ocean Institute’s Seafarer’s Odyssey summer program for children ages 9 to 10. Sailing, rowing, and the arts of the sailor –experience them all with fun, hands-on activities.
The odyssey begins with exploration and discovery of human powered vessels as you learn to row a traditional longboat. From there travel on through the Golden Age of Sail aboard our schooner, Spirit of Dana Point, and continue through time, to tour our modern research vessel and explore the sea floor using ROVs and more. From the past to the present, join us as we embark on a maritime adventure through time that you will never forget!
The week-long program will be offered five times over the summer; the first begins June 19. The cost is $360. Register online or call (949) 496-2274 with questions.
