In the evening, you値l discuss the expedition's findings and develop a plan for the next day. There値l be time for a day hike and a brisk swim.

K-12 Voyages of Discovery
This is so much more than a boat ride!
You and your students are in for a unique experience that will stimulate interest and motivate understanding of history, geography, math, science and communication skills. The Voyages of Discovery program is a three-part journey through the world of late 18th century merchant sailors. Over the course of the program your students will explore a wide variety of core subject areas as they move back in time to the 1790's and see just how young people much like themselves sailed the world's oceans in search of fame and fortune.
The Voyages of Discovery program culminates in your visit to the tall ships Lady Washington and her companion ship the Hawaiian Chieftain. Your time on board the vessels is surely the highlight, but we recommend taking advantage of the pre-visit activities we've designed for you. We want your experience with us to be a meaningful part of your academic year.
