September 16th-21st: SSBG To Host the Combat Wounded Veteran Challenge (CWVC) Sailing Challenge 2019. The CWVC Galveston Sail Training and Championship are designed as challenges for those participants interested in sailing training and competition. Together, CWVC staff, SSBG Adaptive Sailing staff, and the Texas A&M University at Galveston (TAMUG) Sailing team will provide a one-week sail training camp that is scheduled to the minute. At this time all Veteran participant spots are filled, but spectators are invited to come, watch, and support the Veterans participating. Please contact David Gaston at (409)572-2560 or for more information.
The 2019 Combat Wounded Veterans Challenge (CWVC) will be returning to Sea Star Base Galveston September 16th through 21st. This event will bring veterans, and their families, from not only the U.S. but two allied countries as well. All of these veterans are from the multi-national coalition which served in both Afghanistan and Iraq.
This is a wonderful opportunity for volunteer hours, especially for our experienced sonar skippers. We will also need additional volunteers to assist with some of the family outing activities. For more information, contact David Gaston at dgaston@ssbgalveston.org or 409-572-2560.
At its strategic perch overlooking Offatts Bayou, Sea Star Base Galveston (SSBG) resembles a five-star hotel beckoning guests to stop in. But looks can be deceiving. Sea Star Base Galveston is a youth based non-profit organization, and its mission is providing outstanding marine and aquatic programs where youth can learn teamwork and leadership skills, self-reliance and confidence, maritime career pathways, and independence of mind, body and spirit.
Please go to ssbgalveston.org/camps for information and registration, or call (409)572-2560. Sea Star Galveston is based at 7509 Broadway, Galveston.
