THE ST. LAWRENCE II PROGRAM.
An immersive outdoor expedition based
adventure for everyone.
OUR PROGRAM IS An Immersive EXPERIENTIAL OUTDOOR ADVENTURE program OFFERED ABOARD a tall ship. The program is FOCUSED ON ADVENTURE, EXPLORATION, Personal Development, Leadership, Teamwork, AND STRENGTH THROUGH THE UNIQUE EXPERIENCE OF A TALL SHIP VOYAGE.
No Matter Your Background, Or what your future holds . . .
The experience of sailing aboard the St. Lawrence II offers tangible benefits for all people. Some of the outcomes you'll see from our program include:
Improved Teamwork abilities
Increased Self-Confidence
Perseverance and Discipline
Employability Benefits
Intra/Interpersonal Skills
Independent Living Skills for Post-Secondary Students
Leadership attributes
We operate a peer-led experiential, immersive outdoor education program based on the concept of developing inter/intrapersonal skills and abilities through our key priorities:
Safety
Creating a sense of unity, communal effort, and togetherness
Creating connections to the natural world, your fellow participants, and yourself
Cultural awareness and appreciation
and secondary priorities:
Seamanship Training for Traditional Sail & Voyaging
Historical Context and Preservation of Traditional Skills
This is achieved through a program that focuses on delivery of outcomes through the “story of the experience”, which means that as much as possible we let the ship, the people, and the expedition deliver the outcomes we aim to achieve with minimal ancillary programming. Participants are encouraged to bring instruments, books, and pen & paper to help them connect to the experience in as many different ways as possible.
Participants on our voyages are the ship’s crew, not bystanders. They work the ship around the clock and undertake all of the tasks that are required by a working Tall Ship at sea. The experience both broadens horizons and minds, while simultaneously offering insight into the value of teamwork, group effort, life-skills, and hard work.
