There are two camps offered by Bayshore Discovery Project:

Maritime Camps; Five days, Four nights, for Ages 13 to 17

Maritime campers become part of the AJ MEERWALD’S crew, sailing and living aboard an historic tall ship. Campers learn to raise and furl sails, coil lines, navigate and steer the ship. With deckwashes, sea chanteys, knots and standing watch, campers will truly become a tall ship sailor! The program also incorporates our award winning education program connecting and teaching campers about the environment and how we all affect it. Campers help to preform trawls, catching various sea animals in our trawl net, monitoring water quality, analyzing plankton of the local water environment, and learning about local watersheds.

The first 2012 camp is from July 2-July 6 and begins in Liberty State Park, NJ and finishes in New London, CT where the 2012 OP Sail will be for the weekend. So bring the family for a fun weekend of viewing tall ships from around the world.

The second maritime camp will start in Atlantic City, NJ and finish in Cape May, NJ from July 30-August 3. On the last day, each camp offers a campers and parents sail at 1:30 so that the young sailors can show their parents what they accomplished and learned all week.

Cost $750 includes meals and all accommodations


Sailor For A Day: for Ages 10 to 16, 9:00am to 4:00pm

Campers aboard our Sailor For A Day program learn how to become a member of the crew. The morning begins with an introduction to the ship. Campers then help raise sail so we can get on our way! They also participate in our award winning educational program, learning all about our environment and how we affect it. They help to monitor water quality, help trawl for fish and other sea animals, learn about our local watershed, and so much more! In the afternoon, campers learn the skills of the maritime trade including navigation, important knots, how to stand bow watch, and even learn how to steer the boat!
