Promoting environmental awareness and personal growth through experiential education.

Education Outdoors

Waterstart has developed, and continues to expand upon, a collection of highly successful outdoor education programs.

Programs typically involve training in snorkeling, scuba diving, boating, conservation and marine science. These programs allow students to embrace new experiences and gain skills through experiential learning. In addition to our core programs, additional projects that students may participate in include woodland restoration, pilot aquaculture studies, seagrass monitoring and fish identification surveys.

Our
Programs!

Our programs are designed to be progressive so that students attending over successive years have the opportunity to build upon skills developed in previous programs. The diversity of students, and small group sizes, creates an inclusive environment where students thrive and learning is maximized.
