Anchors Away
Changing Lives The Anchors Away program is taking the disabled students of Miami-Dade County Public Schools’ Marine Academy out of the classroom and onto the water using specially-designed dinghies. The watercraft will be stored at the Coconut Grove Sailing Club and operated from Oleta River State Park as part of the Marine Academy’s sailing program. More boats will be added as donations are received from the community.
Anchors Away is the first step in expanding nature-based recreation and adventure opportunities in Florida State Parks. Focusing on school-aged children, seniors and economically disadvantaged youth, park rangers are designing programs that equip visitors with skills in outdoor activities such as primitive camping, fly-fishing and boating.
