Acknowledging that the future of our society is dependent on the quality of our youth,
we at Crosscurrent Voyages endeavour to enhance the development of our youth
in various areas, including: practical, hands-on adventure learning aboard a tallship,
providing a “living” scientific classroom, helping to develop individual moral character
and personal self-worth.
We use experiential education,
adventure and managed risk-taking for growth and development.
Our primary goal is assisting youth and youth-at-risk to develop a strong sense of character and community,
while installing self-esteem in a hands-on situation.
With a volunteer staff, we expose the students to the maritime field, tallship sail-training,
marine animals and eco-system, problem solving, management skills, communication and cooperative learning.
The program is directed towards established groups with their leaders
and is intended to complement their goals and may be used by them as an incentive or reward.
Onboard activities may include tying and untying the vessel,
sail and line handling, sailor knots, rowing, anchoring, lookout,
navigation skills, chart reading, record keeping, marine radio communications,
engineering skills, and sailboat maintenance.
