- Only one similar program exists in Central New York- on Seneca Lake.
- This hands-on experience truly engages students and allow them to learn on their own terms.
- Floating Classroom can be linked nicely with in-school curricula
- Cruising Cayuga Lake provides a unique vantage point for
understanding the relationship between
human history and use of the lake, and the ecology and health of the lake itself... its all about creating
a Sense of Place!
