Sailing Camp

2009 Summer Day Camps

Sailing Camp (ages 10-12 & 13-16) will focus on learning the basics of seamanship and sailing.  Campers will split their day between learning the basics of sailing and other activities, such as the Climbing Wall and Challenge Course.  There is a 6:1 camper to staff ratio, with 12 campers per session.

Beginner Sailing (ages 10-12 & 13-16)

Sailing instruction will include knot tying, seamanship, the techniques of sailing, and rigging.  At the end of each session, participants will be able to operate a two-person dinghy with safety and confidence.  Activities are designed to provide hands-on learning while having lots of fun.
