Sea & Island Adventure Camp Corsica Island Sailing Expedition

Course Description: Sea & Island Adventure Camp Corsica Island Sailing Expedition

Set sail on a once-in-a-lifetime, two-week journey with the Sea & Island Adventure, where students explore the breathtaking island of Corsica by sea and land alongside a crew of like-minded young adventurers aboard 45-foot modern catamarans.

No sailing experience is required. Expert captains and crew lead the way while students actively take part, building real confidence as they learn the basics of how a vessel is piloted and maintained.

Each day brings a dynamic mix of mountain, shore and sea activities. The catamaran acts as a unique “hop-on, hop-off” base, carrying the group from one stunning destination to the next for team challenges and outdoor adventures. More than just transport, it becomes a warm, safe home on the water — creating a close-knit, family-like atmosphere where friendships form quickly and memories last a lifetime.
