Mission The Bahamas High Adventure Foundation is a (501) (c) (3) Florida State registered Charity, formed to allow underprivileged children and youth at risk from all over America, without prejudice, to participate in one of the finest character building programs available. We take children away from the many negative influences of their regular environment and teach them to participate as part of a team and instil a strong, positive self image which they take back to their daily lives. The program takes children back in time to live aboard a traditional wooden schooner. As part of a pirate crew they are taught to sail without winches or electronics in the tropical waters of the Bahamas. We stress team work and cooperation, as well as learning to act and think in a responsible manner. The crew is responsible for the full running of the ship, from sailing and navigating to cooking and cleaning, even democratically electing their own Captain. All decisions are made collectively and children learn how important the individual becomes when empowered with responsibility. Relieved of the pressures of everyday life they are able to focus on their true potential, but above all else , They have fun ! The Bahamas High Adventure staff is dedicated to providing both the mentorship and facilities to make this program possible and enriching the lives of children all over America. Donate by "PayPal"
