Tall Ships Adventure offers youth 12-18 years of age, the opportunity to learn how to sail an authentic tall ship while developing necessary life skills like independence, self-reliance, and courage. They experience personal growth while having the time of their lives and making lifelong friends.

They offer three different adventures based on age. Children between ages 12-14 can join either the 5-day adventures aboard the tall ship Black Jack sailing out of Ottawa or the 5-day, 4-night island adventure split between the tall ship Black Jack and the island base camp tucked away on the Ottawa River.

The Island-Hopping Adventure sailing camp is perfect for ages 14-18, aboard the tall ship Fair Jeanne. Exploring The Thousand Islands and Lake Ontario, this adventure is an opportunity to explore one of the world's most magical freshwater archipelagos.

Trainees of all ages aboard each of the voyages will receive authentic sail training, take responsibility for making critical decisions with real-world consequences, and most importantly, they are going to have boatloads of fun.
