In the wood-shop, wilderness and at sea in the boats participants grow themselves into a true ship's crew; putting those abilities to work for each other, for the Sea School, and for the community at large. We further build on this responsibility by enabling a clear path for older students train younger ones, for graduated students to become instructors, for young trainees and instructors to be referred to other training and employment experiences in our community and beyond. The Sea School is for everyone We know that people learn more from each other when they are not all alike and that every single youth is deserving of a Sea School experience. It is our commitment to not ever turn any youth away. To make this possible we provide more than 45% of our participants with bursary support.

Cowichan Station is a rural community south of Duncan on Vancouver Island. The CSAA was established 2007 after our 100 year old local school was closed, prompting local people to band together to restore a community gathering space for the area. Several "Community Conversations" were held to discuss and envision what is important to the residents of Cowichan Station, and CSAA is working to implement some of those ideas. The school is undergoing extensive renovations and has been transformed into The HUB at Cowichan Station, a gathering space for arts, culture and recreation. CSAA is 100% volunteer operated.
