About This Activity

Our weeklong B.O.A.T. C.A.M.P. program aboard the F/V Erica Lee seeks to develop a lifelong connection to the diverse ecology of our nearby coastal waters through experiential education aboard the F/V Erica Lee. During the week, and depending on weather and sea conditions, we may haul lobster traps, tow an otter trawl to collect and examine sea life on the ocean bottom, fish for a variety of sustainable species using a variety of traditional New England methods, explore the Isles of Shoals, tidepools and beaches, sing sea chanteys, play an instrument, tell stories and cool off at the beach. Our morning starts at 9 a.m. inside our waterfront classroom, where we talk about our plan for the day and introduce topics and stories that provide context for the day's adventure. Then we'll head out aboard the F/V Erica for the day! Throughout the week we'll explore relevant, age-appropriate topics in marine biology, coastal ecology, oceanography, ocean conservation, maritime history, navigation and knot-tying. No two days on the water are ever the same and every day is different, no matter how many years youth have attended.
