For over 40 years the mission of Adventure Education has been to immerse students into the wonders and
the miracle of the marine world. Through a multidimensional approach to education and a philosophy that true education happens through active participation in the environment and not limited to the classroom, thousands of young stewards have gained a true insight and a deeper appreciation of our connection to and absolute reliance on the ocean and its fringes.
