  • New experiences of trusting each other and in offering trust
  • 1-2 hours of physical activity

About Nova Scotia Sea School



The Nova Scotia Sea School takes advantage of the Maritime tradition of boats and the sea to help young people discover the values that the sea has taught for generations: courage, leadership, teamwork, generosity, environmental stewardship, humour, respect. We teach hands-on skills in boat-building, boat-handling, navigation and wilderness survival, and above all give youth a chance to live and work together in a challenging situation where each of them has a turn at being in command and in achieving their true potential.
