I’m not sure how many of my direct readers this applies to, but if you know any teachers, Scout leaders, or youth group directors working with this age group, this sounds like a fun opportunity. There is also a meet and greet at the boat this Saturday, April 26, from 12-3 for people to meet Captain Arrow, the crew, and learn about their 14-day excursion this summer that’s currently accepting student applications.
