Hudson River Sloop Cleawater facilitates educational programs for classroom and non-classroom learners of all ages, and offer homeschool programs both onboard our sloop, Clearwater, and along the shoreline. Explore our homeschool offerings below, and contact Education Director Emily Marcet with questions at emily@clearwater.org.

Sailing Classroom

Our Sailing Classroom Program is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to learn about the river from the deck of a Hudson River Sloop, allowing students to explore the river’s natural wonders and cultural significance through hands-on education. Students work together to raise the sloop’s 3,000lb mainsail, learn about the estuary, and engage in small-group, inquiry-based learning stations.

$35 per person, with discounts available for families of 3 or more. Students must be accompanied by an adult. Limited spots for students under 8.
