Teachers under Sail
Are you a Michigan classroom teacher? BaySail invites you to come for a sail aboard the Schooner Appledore IV and learn about Science Under Sail, our 3½ hour hands-on, curriculum linked environmental education program. On board we will demonstrate program components including weather observation, bird and waterfowl identification, navigation, water sampling and testing, plankton sampling, and benthic studies. We will also get you involved in raising sails and steering the ship!

Where: Departing from Wenonah Park, Bay City
Cost: Free for teachers.
Light refreshments provided.
