We're part of an organization that spans the world and provides an opportunity every two years to bring the various groups together in a friendly Contest of Seamanship. The youth involved in the program learn to row and sail a 38’ captain’s gig, building a team, making new friendships, a new understanding and trust that develops them in to ambassadors representing their country. Throughout the world, programs like the one in Canada offer opportunities for youth to continually learn to adapt and overcome each challenge they encounter along their course. Skills are developed through participants exploring their personal boundaries, both physically and mentally in a controlled and safe manner. Each year, we offer training opportunities to youth from across Canada in our programs and to develop new skills. The majority of these programs have been in Ontario although youth travel around the world to participate with other member organizations.
