I am writing to share a free opportunity for students ages 13-17 with the Hurricane Island Outward Bound School. For more information, please complete the interest form at the bottom of the Hurricane Island Outward Bound School website.
Information on the Program:
Take part in an incredible opportunity to explore the rugged shoreline and spruce-covered terrain of Maine’s Midcoast on a 5-day sailing & rock climbing adventure—for FREE!
OPEN TO ALL MAINE STUDENTS, AGES 13-17
This summer, with grant support from the U.S. Department of Education and the Maine Department of Education's Maine Outdoor Learning Initiative, we’re offering Maine students, between the ages of 13-17, a unique opportunity to explore the landscape of Maine’s coast and islands, gain hands-on leadership experience, and forge friendships and connections that last a lifetime.
Maine's rugged coast beckons for a five-day, one-of-a-kind experience where adventure awaits around every corner! Imagine the thrill of slicing through waves on a 30-ft. sailboat, the exhilaration of climbing Burnt Island’s iconic seaside cliffs, and the satisfaction of leaving your mark by contributing to an island service project. As you hike the wild trails and camp under star-studded skies, you'll discover hidden strengths, make new friends, find community through shared experiences, gain leadership skills as you navigate the activities together, and return with memories you’ll carry with you for life.
