Still time for sailing adventure
THERE’S still time for Far North teens to join a nine-day sailing program departing from Gladstone to Bundaberg and Bundaberg to Brisbane through the East Coast Youth Leadership Challenge.
Windeward Bound Trust and Rotary Club Hobart are offering a once-in-a-lifetime experience aboard the beautiful STV Windeward Bound for children ages 14-17 to sail the southeast coast of Queensland.
The next stop is Gladstone on July 15, where five places are still available for Far North youth to snatch, and bookings are now open for the Bundaberg to Brisbane trip from July 31 to August 8.
With a cost of $2500 per child, Rotary clubs, local businesses, and community members are being encouraged to provide sponsorships.
Applications are done online and require an adult referee.
Assistant Governor at Gladstone Rotary Club Marilyn Rayment said this was an enriching experience for teens.
