Ocean Connections. This introductory after school program for 6th to 8th graders is held two hours twice a week for five weeks. Students participated in six modules of study designed to broaden their awareness of core disciplines in the marine sciences: Marine ecology, oceanography, fisheries sciences, aquaculture, marine construction, marine technology. Each module incorporates hands-on scientific inquiry and the exploration of related career opportunities.
Teen Rowing. This instructional rowing program meets from May to October. A new session starts every six weeks. Students fourteen years of age and older learn to row our pilot gig and traditional dories. In the spring and fall, participants row twice a week, three times a week in the summer. In addition to on-water time, sessions include dockside instruction covering care of equipment, docking procedures, safety, and team building. In November, we offer a 2-week race preparation session for students who wish to compete in the Icebreaker Races held late each November in Boston.
Teen Boat Building. Geno Mondello teaches our GMHC after school boat building course which consists of a hands-on experience in laying out, lofting, making full size patterns and pieces, and assembling an 18 foot Banks Dory. The course is taught on site at our own dory shop. |
