Aucocisco, ages 9-15 (Day), we offer students a traditional day camp experience in a very non-traditional format, in a kayak every day traveling under their own power to island destinations steeped in our maritime heritage. Rippleffect provides transportation to Cow Island, our Island Classroom, from which participants will embark on their adventures.


Cow Island ages 13-18 For high school students, our expeditions and Cow Classic programming provide an economical alternative to exotic adventure programs in far–off destinations that reveal the rugged wilderness just off our shores, and focus on the leadership and life skills that help build whole, healthy people. Rippleffect provides transportation to Cow Island, our Island Classroom, from which programs will embark on their adventures.

School Programs

Rippleffect school orientations are intended to instill students with a renewed sense of confidence and cohesiveness as a class at the beginning of the school year.

"Rippleffect is the people, by far. The quality of those who led and cared for us was what made this program – of course they had energy, enthusiasm and skill, but more importantly they had inventiveness, flexibility and incredible openness. They created a 'partnership' that was not only mutually beneficial, but wonderfully fruitful for all concerned."
