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.   2057 Gottingen St. Halifax , Nova Scotia B3K 3B2 Nova Scotia Sea School 902 423-7284
