THE YOUTH CAMP

The camp is for youths 9-13 years old. The classes are from 9 am to 2 pm Monday to Friday and 9-2 pm Saturday with a brief ceremony at the close. The course is taught from "Sailing Smart", a text of US Sailing Association and is taught by our certified instructors.

There were two camps in each of the summers of 2001 to 2006.  Both the campers and instructors 
really enjoyed these camps. In addition to sailing in dinghys, the campers learned how to handle canoes, kayaks, and rowboats. The course is compatible with meeting the sailing requirements for scout merit badges.

Students are required to have a Coast Guard approved PFD (personal floatation device) and to be able to swim 50 yards using any stroke. The cost is $150 per student.

Some scholarships are available for the disadvantaged.
