SCHOOL & GROUP PROGRAMS
Northwest Maritime Center offers a variety of program options that provide opportunities for maritime-themed, hands-on learning. Our programs take advantage of Port Townsend and the Salish Sea’s rich cultural and natural history as a way to engage students in learning. Students can learn to row, sail, navigate and work as a team aboard several different vessels. We also offer land-based seamanship and mariner’s skills programs utilizing our waterfront campus, including our pilothouse simulator and boatshop. Students can learn boatbuilding skills and build a boat as a team in one week. Our fleet of boats includes longboats, Thunderbird sailboats and a hundredyear-old converted lifeboat. Our longboats are replicas of Captain Vancouver’s ships’ longboats that are incredible learning and teambuilding platforms. They include 8 rowing stations and 3 sails. These boats can be used on overnight voyages of up to two weeks in length as well as half or full day programs. Options include day and multi-day programs with overnight stays in Port Townsend and overnight voyages aboard our historic longboats. We are also able to design custom programs that meet your school or group’s needs.
