The Waterfront Program is an important part of Eckerd College and remains true to its founding principle: “Education through Service.” While providing a reprieve from the rigors of the classroom, it also provides students with an added extracurricular dimension: a chance to learn lifetime sports and make valuable contributions to the community.
