Nova Scotia Summer Camps and Outdoor Adventure Programs
Nova Scotia Sea School
Wilderness adventure program
Come on a voyage with us and you will sail, navigate, read the constellations, sleep outdoors, take command, explore the coast and uninhabited islands, make new friends and have an outrageous amount of fun. No sailing experience needed.
For generations Nova Scotians have traveled the coast in small boats, learning wisdom and courage from the sea. Today the Nova Scotia Sea School takes young people from around the world out to sea in traditional sailing craft, for fun and for personal challenge. It's a chance to discover Nova Scotia's heritage, and to discover themselves.

Camp activities include canoeing, swimming, archery, crafts, kayaking, outtrips, campfires, and more. We offer one-week sessions and 3-week leadership programs for teens. Camp Wapomeo is a place to build friendships, experience outdoor adventures, and form the memories of a lifetime!
