What Is the Nova Scotia Sea School?

The Nova Scotia Sea School has been transforming teenagers through outdoor education programs since 1994. Participants embark on 5- to 7-day sailing trips aboard a 30-foot wooden sailboat in the North Atlantic, learning essential sailing skills and life lessons.

Key Benefits of the Sea School Experience

Teaches teamwork & resilience: Teens live in close quarters, fostering cooperation
Digital detox: No phones or electronics allowed
Practical skills: Knot-tying, navigation, and survival techniques
Emotional growth: Students learn immediate consequences of their actions

"You can't just say a mean comment and walk away. Now you have to cook dinner with that person."
— Captain Zoe Nudell, Sea School Instructor

Why This Program Stands Out

Proven track record: Operating successfully for nearly 30 years
Unique environment: The challenging North Atlantic waters
Life-changing impact: Builds confidence and interpersonal skills
