What is a Coastie Event?

A COASTIE EVENT is an education program for children ages 5 – 12 which aims to teach Safe Boating practices utilizing a role-playing Lesson Plan, PowerPoint presentation and, of course, COASTIE THE SAFETY BOAT.

At the end of the lesson, children are given a U.S.C.G.A. Certificate of Participation, a COASTIE Coloring Book and a COASTIE tattoo (temp).
