The Bosun School is a shore-based, hands-on skills development program for ambitious young mariners with an emphasis on rigging ship and boat maintenance, and extensive small boat handling. It is plenty of work and salty good times.⠀
⠀
The next session of the Bosun School will run from July 20 to August 28, 2020 at Picton Castle's home base in Lunenburg, Nova Scotia, Canada⠀
⠀
There is no fee for this upcoming session of the Bosun School, and room and board is included. Applications are accepted from mariners of all nationalities, but current travel restrictions may prevent those from outside of Canada and outside of the province of Nova Scotia from attending. For those requiring a visa to enter Canada, only a temporary resident visa is required, not a student visa. ⠀
⠀
For those who are not able to join us in person, this summer's Bosun School will also be posted online for viewing at home. If you would like more information on how to join the Bosun School online, please email danielle@picton-castle.com⠀
⠀
In order to apply, please send your CV and a letter to info@picton-castle.com that tells us more about you, your seagoing experience and your motivation for wanting to become a Bosun School student.

Next up on our list of must-reads is "Endurance: An Epic of Polar Adventure", recommended by Pascale, part of our 2019-2020 faculty.

First published in 1931, Endurance tells the full story of that doomed 1914-16 expedition and incredible rescue, as well as relating Worsley's further adventures fighting U-boats in the Great War, sailing the equally treacherous waters of the Arctic, and making one final (and successful) assault on the South Pole with Shackleton. (Source: Goodreads) Happy reading! 📚 #WhatsOnYourShelf #ClassAfloat #gapyear #studyabroad #experientiallearning #learn #bookclub

In the follow-up to our end of year ceremony, we're excited to announce the winners of some very special Class Afloat awards!

First off, congratulations to Eloise G., recipient of this year's Citizenship Award! 🤝 The Citizenship Award is presented to the student who has consistently and selflessly contributed to the vessel community as a whole. This student displays uncommon sensitivity to and respect for others, strength of character, and great personal integrity.
