Sail training, coastal cruising excursions, and offshore sailing expeditions:
Skeleton Crew Adventures' Inshore Sailing Program offers veterans and first responders therapeutic sailing experiences in Galveston Bay, Texas, under the guidance of experienced captains. This transformative journey harnesses sailing's therapeutic power for healing and growth.
The program unfolds in two parts:
1. Introduction to Inshore Sailing: Participants learn essential sailing skills navigation, sail handling, and teamwork establishing a foundation for personal and communal resilience.
2. Technical Mastery and Group Challenges: The advanced phase deepens technical sailing skills and teamwork through challenging exercises, enhancing life skills and resilience.
This comprehensive approach not only teaches sailing but also promotes well-being and recovery, leveraging the natural world's restorative effects. It's a unique blend of adventure, adjunct therapy, and skill-building, designed to foster resilience and personal growth in a supportive group setting.
Skeleton Crew Adventures' Offshore Sailing Program is designed for those who've mastered the inshore course, propelling them into the vastness of open-sea sailing with a focus on deep personal growth and resilience.
