Sail Camp

 

At our Summer Sail Camps, youth learn basic sailing skills. Programs range from introductory programs that build comfort and confidence, to advanced classes that introduce racing. Camps are available for youth ages six to eighteen.

Race Team

 

We support a robust race program throughout the summer, fall, and spring each year. Our sailors compete in c420, Laser, cFJ, and Optimists at a regional and national level. Programs range from entry level to competitive. If your sailor is interested in racing, we have a program for you!

We have several opportunities for donation, volunteering, and employment to get more kids out sailing! Find out more on the pages below:

What is Next?

We are thrilled with our progress and momentum over the last 14 years, and excited for the future. 

2023 was an excellent year for our organization, and we have big goals in mind for 2024. We are looking forward to pursuing a waterfront facility to call home, supporting more underserved youth in our scholarship program, and strengthening our program staff and race teams.
