Summary
The 52-foot Learnt stopped in St. James on 9–10 June 2008 while carrying a church-based DawnTreader youth-sailing crew toward Little Current. The program planned to bring 200 high-school students into a week-long North Channel flotilla focused on social relationships and outdoor travel.
Evidence limits
The source documents the Beaver Island stop and planned program, not the later flotilla’s completion or participant outcomes.
