Connecting Communities Through Youth Education
Making a difference
We know that being near the water can calm us and connect children, their families and communities and that being near the water can reduce stress, amplify creativity and increase innovation and insight. With that in mind, we shall provide introduction to water-based recreational activities in a way for our students to dare to dream, learn, react and develop lifelong learning skills in a unique, safe and educational environment. 'Teaching The Way Our Children Learn'
National Curriculum
Meeting and Exceeding Standards
Our curriculum meets the National Knowledge and On Water Skills Based Standards (NOWS) and exceeds the National Instructor Approach Standard (also NOWS). The Spirit of America Foundation has verified that these national standards of education, which are all inclusive in our sail, human powered and power sections of our curriculum, meet these standards approved by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) .
A National Youth Movement!
