Nauticus Education Programs & Conservation Efforts

Your support will provide our educators with the resources needed to continue these programs which include summer camps, homeschool days, scout days, Mid-Atlantic ROV Competition, the Nauticus Junior Scientists Club and more.
 


Battleship Wisconsin

The Battleship Wisconsin welcomes hundreds of thousands of visitors each year and hosts countless events, reunions, and navy ceremonies. Your support helps to preserve and restore the battleship for future generations to come.


Sail Nauticus

Sail Nauticus‘ mission is to inspire, instruct and impact the youth of Hampton Roads through the use of sailing and maritime sciences. Your support will continue to enhance the sailing program to include the Sail Nauticus Academy.


Schooner Virginia

Since joining the Nauticus Foundation, the schooner Virginia has become a platform to engage the Hampton Roads community by delivering transformative maritime experiences to our underserved youth.
