Before the Mast Overnight
 Grades 4-5
Eighteen hours, $2625 for up to 45 participants ($2675 for programs Jan. - June 2008)
Travel back in time to the seafaring world of Richard Henry Dana's Two Years Before the Mast. Sign aboard as greenhands for a two year "voyage" from Boston to Alta California in the 1830s. While being immersed in history and operating a real tallship in old San Juan Harbor, students will gain skills in cooperative learning, teamwork, and communication as they hoist cargo, row long-boats, raise sails, stand night watch, swab the decks, and sing chanteys.
