SEA Expedition is a two-week offshore summer program for rising high school sophomores, juniors, and seniors, as well as recent high school graduates.

Immersed into the daily life of SEA’s SSV Corwith Cramer, SEA Expedition provides students the opportunity to participate in every aspect of a challenging offshore sailing and oceanographic expedition. While sailing around the nearshore and offshore waters of Cape Cod and New England, students will gain skills navigations and sail handling while also conducting scientific deployments. Past SEA Expedition voyages have explored Cape Cod Bay, Stellwagon Bank National Marine Sanctuary, the Gulf of Maine, and George’s Bank (at the edge of the continental shelf).

• SEA welcomes applications from current high school students, including graduating seniors, who have successfully completed at least one high school level science and one high school level mathematics course, and have an interest in understanding the ocean and environmental issues from a variety of perspectives.
• Rising freshmen will be considered for the virtual programs only. We review each application carefully, with an emphasis on student interest, motivation, and goals for the selected program.
• Each SEA high school program has a limited capacity with a maximum of 20- 25 students. We accept summer applications beginning in the preceding fall and encourage students to apply early since some programs may fill before the stated deadline.
