Team Longboat (formerly known as Bravo Team) is a longboat seamanship, team building, and environmental learning program that lasts the entire school year. Together, participants work to voyage on Port Townsend Bay, maintain the longboat, and learn about marine trades and the natural history of the Salish Sea. The year culminates with an overnight voyage.
Students can register for Team Longboat through OCEAN.
