Sea Change has been bringing teens to Isle Royale for four years now. Our trips are chock-full--eating, sleeping, and living aboard a sailboat, learning how to sail, hiking and kayaking around Isle Royale, dipping in the Lake. Every day we take time out to work on some aspect of climate. We do research, present to each other, study endangered plants, record temperatures, discuss engagement skills, set goals, and write letters to elected officials and to newspapers. It is an incredible opportunity for eager teenagers, and we are determined to be accessible to all regardless of financial resources. We cannot, however, escape the fact that it costs us over $700/day to run our trips. To ensure accessibility, we need supporters who care about the teenagers in their communities to pitch in. Your donation will go specifically to an Ely teenager, lowering his/her fee and allowing any teenager to make the leap aboard.
Do you know a teenager who might like to sail around Isle Royale? Encourage him/her to apply to Sea Change!
