Star of the Sea
The teen sailing program utilizes the three masted topsail schooner “Star of the Sea”. This program for ages 12 and up teaches seamanship, team building, discipline, and decision making. Going to sea can be a horizon expanding experience for young people. Most of the students in the sailing program had never been on a boat before they enrolled in this exciting teen outreach.

While aboard, the students learn about navigation, rules of the road, sailhandling and helmsmanship.

Every sail also includes a lesson in Christian living using nautical metaphors.
The students learn to appreciate God’s perfection as displayed in nature.

In August each year this program’s students participate in a two day educational experience at the Marine Lab in Key Largo. The teens learn to snorkel and take classes in coral reef, seagrass and mangrove ecosystems as well as astronomy.

They not only gain self confidence and are encouraged to seek God as the true “compass” of life, they also see the beautiful world God created.
