FLOAT (Float Learning Opportunities and Academic Triumph) School is a unique experiential
education opportunity for native youth from Craig, Klawock, Hydaburg, Wrangell, Metlakatla,
and the SE Island School District. During the ten-day curriculum, students study a variety
of subjects from marine biology and local history to ocean navigation and costal canoeing. An
expert staff team of wilderness educators engage students with hands-on projects and activities
designed to be both fun and educational.
For those who want to investigate even further afield, there is a special month-long FLOAT
school expedition during the summer. This trip includes a hiking expedition to the Edziza Plateau
in British Columbia and then concludes with a paddling trip down the Stikine River.

"I experienced things that I‘m sure a lot of people have never experienced. I learned if
you never give up and keep on trying you will eventually succeed. Just because you
fail once doesn‘t mean you have to give up." - 15 year old participant
