MCC Council Sea Base Contingent

Come Sail Away, Come Sail Away!

Michigan Crossroads Council is proud to present the 2027 Keys Adventure Sailing Sea Base Contingent. During this trek, participants will enjoy their adventure in the most diverse ecosystem in North America.
-The adventure begins with snorkeling, kayaking, and learning about sailing. At night, crews will be housed in glamping-style tents with bunk beds and air conditioning.
-On day 4, crews will embark on their adventure at sea. During this portion of the adventure, crews will sail and sleep on board, and snorkel and fish in the beautiful waters of the Florida Keys.
Please Note: The program is dictated by weather, tides and the ability of the crew. Your float plan can vary, sometimes widely, due to these factors.
