In addition to witnessing the natural magic of the ocean and its inhabitants, each student crew will make friendships to last a lifetime. They'll take responsibility for themselves and their fellow shipmates, learning to work as a team as they hoist and brace the yards on the ship's 130-foot tall rig and stand watch at the helm to guide the ship's course on a voyage of discovery.
Camp price for one week program is $1,600 and our two week programs are $3,000; which includes all meals and seamanship/sailing instruction with a ratio of staff to students of 1:4.
Availability is on a first-come, first-serve basis. For more information on our Education-at-Sea programs call or email us. You can also visit Facebook/ohpri and start your adventure at sea! For more information on our policies and payment plans visit us at ohpri.org
