16 SOUNDWATERS WAS FOUNDED 25 YEARS AGO WITH THE MISSION TO PROTECT LONG ISLAND SOUND THROUGH EDUCATION AND ACTION. SINCE THEN WE HAVE ENGAGED HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF STUDENTS AND ADULTS TO BUILD A DEEPER INTEREST AND LITERACY IN SCIENCE FOR IMPROVED SCHOOL ACHIEVEMENT AND TO RAISE AWARENESS ABOUT THE SMALL DIFFERENCES WE ALL CAN MAKE TO PROTECT THE HEALTH OF THE SOUND. THE SCHOONER SOUNDWATERS OUR MOST VISIBLE AND RECOGNIZED RESOURCE CONDUCTS 250 EXPERIENTIAL EDUCATION SAILS EACH SEASON FOR SCHOOL AND COMMUNITY GROUPS AND PUBLIC SAILS FOR EVERYONE THROUGHOUT THE REGION. 2015 SOUNDWATERS ECO CAMP MISSION MARITIME EDUCATION ECO SAILING CAMP. Soundwaters is committed to ensuring that no child or school will be excluded from our programs due to an inability to pay. Knowledge about and access to educational enrichment and the benefits of Long Island Sound are far too limited already for so many in our region. The generosity of supporters enables our work whether its an education sail aboard the Schooner SoundWaters summer camp scholarships for children or STEM education at our Coastal Education Center. Overall one third of the students we teach are from low-income communities and receive full or partial scholarship assistance. These children would not benefit from an outdoor field experience and academic enrichment without SoundWaters.
