Homeschoolers on the Hudson
Discover, Explore, and Learn: A Unique Sailing Classroom Experience for Homeschoolers
What to Expect
New for homeschoolers! Step aboard the iconic sloop Clearwater for a unique educational adventure designed especially for homeschool groups! Our Homeschool Sailing Classroom offers a hands-on, immersive learning experience that complements at-home education with real-world exploration. Students will engage in inquiry-based learning stations, customized to diverse grade levels, where they can investigate the vibrant ecosystems of the Hudson River.
Participants will conduct water quality experiments, explore indigenous history, and deepen their understanding of environmental science, all while building critical thinking and problem-solving skills. Your group will have the chance to raise the sails, cast lines for Hudson River fish species, and sing traditional sea shanties, fostering a sense of teamwork and community.
Designed to support homeschool curricula, this program encourages active participation, creativity, and outdoor learning, making it the perfect blend of education and adventure! Whether your students are budding scientists, historians, or just curious explorers, they will leave with unforgettable experiences and new knowledge.
We look forward to welcoming your homeschool group on this one-of-a-kind journey!
