Florida Sea Base Contingent 2018
The Mid-America Council will be sending a council contingent to the Florida Sea Base in 2018! We are planning to send 1 crew of up to 12 total participants.
Participants will enjoy the STEM Eco Adventure program at Sea Base, which includes snorkeling, kayaking, sailing on two 40- to 45-foot sailboats, and fishing. The Sea Base Contingent Committee reserves the right to not accept a registration if the candidate is not fit physically or emotionally for the trip.
