After-School Science and Sailing

After-School Science & Sailing – Middle School

The SoundWaters After-School Science and Sailing program offers middle school students the unique opportunity to go sailing at the end of the school day. Through sailing, we foster stewardship of Long Island Sound as well as camaraderie among peers. We offer high-quality sailing instruction with US Sailing certified instructors for all levels of experience. From the novice to seasoned sailor SoundWaters will help students further their sailing skills. As well as sailing, students will meet animals that live in Long Island Sound, perform experiments, and much more.
