Our social media detox will be over soon…. Promise! 👀😁

Wanna get to know our unofficial Social Media Intern and official Executive Director a bit more? We would love to see you at for Stephi’s Tuesday Night Talk on February 24th!

Before becoming the Sea School ED, Stephi spent many months and years of her life working in polar regions🧊

Come hear a few tales of exciting adventures in faraway places and, of course, what we can learn from those experiences.
