Fundraising Cruise on Historic MILDRED BELLE

Come celebrate America's 250th birthday with a relaxing cruise on the Potomac river aboard the historic Chesapeake Bay buyboat MILDRED BELLE—and support student access to the water with every ticket!

Empowered by your generosity, the Living Classrooms Foundation historic ships MILDRED BELLE, LADY MARLYAND, and SIGSBEE offer unique hands-on sailing adventures for students, youth groups, and adults from all over Maryland, Virginia, and Washington, DC. Proceed from this cruise's ticket sales will directly support our educational programming for local school groups in Baltimore and Washington, DC alike. This donor-oriented cruise will serve as a fundraiser to support the Living Classrooms Foundation's mission of education and community service.

While aboard, try your hand as a mariner by helping to steer and navigate the boat, learn more about the rich ecosystem of the Potomac Watershed, and relax while enjoying the sounds and activity on the water. Bring your own food and beverages to enjoy with the help of crew-provided coolers.
