Enable Adventure

Enable Adventure proposes to intervene in the lives of youth and provide them with the opportunity to experience responsibility, confidence, and a sense of accomplishment on the water. Through team-based sailing aboard the 41-foot ketch “Wilder Seas”, youth served will work with trained peer-mentors, a skilled captain/certified instructor, and other experienced adults to learn to operate the boat with proficiency. Youth will improve math, science, and executive functioning abilities while learning team-building, problem-solving, and building self-confidence. On completion of the team-based portion of the project, youth will be given the option to continue their sailing training on smaller boats where they will learn to sail independently, charting their own course on the lake and in their lives.
