Join Clearwater for a Sailing Classroom Program for Homeschool students and families this spring out of Kingston, Poughkeepsie, Cold Spring, or Brooklyn! 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. Email sail@clearwater.org with questions or for more information about the family discount.

About Hudson River Sloop Clearwater

Hudson River Sloop Clearwater is a member-supported nonprofit dedicated to protecting the Hudson River through education, advocacy, sailing, and music. We own and operate the historic 106′ Hudson River sloop, Clearwater. Since our first season in 1969, we’ve welcomed over half a million guests aboard. Continuing the tradition of historic sloops as vital links between communities, Clearwater is recognized as America’s Environmental Flagship and carries a powerful message of environmental advocacy.

For over half a century, Clearwater has worked to protect the Hudson River through grassroots organizing in waterfront and Hudson Valley communities. Over the years Clearwater has been instrumental in advocating for the closure and now for the safe decommissioning of the Indian Point Nuclear Power Plant, for a comprehensive cleanup of General Electric’s legacy polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) pollution, and countless other campaigns that protect the Hudson River and the well-being of the residents on its shores.
