Oliver Hazard Perry Teen Summer Camp:
This Summer, make the Oliver Hazard Perry your ship, feel a sailor’s pride, and experience life at sea with our unique 1-week summer camps! Based in Newport, Rhode Island, the SSV Oliver Hazard Perry is America’s largest civilian sail training vessel. We provide 1-week educational sailing summer programs aboard the ship for teens ages 13-18. Work the yards and sails on your voyage along the New England coastline. In addition to witnessing the natural magic of the ocean and its inhabitants, each student crew will make friendships to last a lifetime.
