Boating Education

The Education Calendar has been updated for Winter 2011.  Please click the "education" link on the main menu, or visit our calendar of events for course information and schedule.  One of the main goals of the United States Power Squadrons is “boating safety through education”—we believe that an educated boater is a safer boater. USPS provides many skill building opportunities to the general public through a variety of courses, seminars, and marine-related guides. Our instructors are certified regarding their ability to teach and to use of modern instructional techniques.  All classes are fun and informative, and bring you into contact with other boaters.
