U.S. Brig Niagara Sail Training Program at the Erie Maritime Museum (PA): the tall ship sails Lake Erie and even ventures into Great Lakes on its award-winning sail training programs. Most last two weeks and are for either high school (age 14-18) or college students and give participants the experience of living and working on a historic American tall ship. The college program is typically the second two weeks of May though there is an environment-focused college program in August as well. The experience is physically strenuous but (apparently) also very rewarding and gives a unique insight into the past! A background check and medical records and insurance verification are all required for application/enrollment, just fyi. More info here.
Volunteer opportunities are also offered at the Erie Maritime Museum, with work as a docent, historic interpreter, ship model builder, and ship maintenance crew member available. More info here.
