Girls Summer at Sea

After ten wonderful years of inspiring and educating young women to be actively involved in the direction of their lives, the Tall Ship Education Academy is suspending operation of its programs. While we are all saddened to see such a powerful and rewarding educational program not continue, we are proud to have been given the opportunity to develop such a strong program and touch so many young women's lives.

The following information and links provides an archive of information about the program. For more information, please contact Nettie Kelly.
