Tall Ship Providence Foundation...Bringing History to Life!
TSPF's Education Program provides young people a hands-on, interactive experience rich in American history, STEM and life skills aboard the Tall Ship Providence.
--------------------------
The Field Trip Program (FTP) provides 4th grade students from Title One schools and other under-resourced areas the opportunity to experience an immersive, onsite educational experience free of charge.
The Field Trip Program is designed to get students out from behind desks and devices to learn important life and educational skills in an authentic, interactive setting.
Why This Matters
- Hands-On Learning: Authentic settings enhance project-based learning.
- History & STEM Integration: Students “sign on to the Continental Navy” and become crew members aboard the Providence.
- Immersive Experiences: Students explore our Education Center, experience the Naval History Theater, and board the Providence.
- Historical Insight: Learn about the Continental Navy’s role during the American Revolution, with the Tall Ship Providence as the centerpiece.
- Character Development: The program teaches resilience, patience, persistence, and courage.
Your Donation’s Impact
Thousands of young people in the DMV area lack access to field trips and out-of-school learning experiences. Your donations make
these enriching experiences possible.
- $49: Sponsor one student’s visit, including the cost of transportation.
- $1,225: Fund a trip for a classroom of 25 students, including the cost of transportation.
- $2,450: Sponsor a school of 50 students, including the cost of transportation.
Our waitlist is filled with schools eager to give their students this opportunity. Your support can turn their hopes into reality.
TSPF's goal is to serve 3000 students in the 2026-27 school year, BUT WE CAN'T DO THIS WITHOUT YOUR HELP!
Please consider supporting a student, classroom, or school this year during Spring2ACTion to help make a difference for these students.
Thank you for your support!
The Tall Ship Providence Team
Who We Are
Tall Ship Providence Foundation serves as a floating classroom, educating visitors from across the country on the pivotal role Providence played in the American Revolution as the first ship authorized to serve in the Continental Navy.
TSPF is committed to serving the community by honoring its local and national maritime heritage. Our Living History Tour is led by a group of experienced staff in authentic, period clothing who bring guests aboard Providence to gain insight into what life at sea must have been like aboard this 70-ft ship carrying 70 crew members, livestock and months of provisions.
