Summer Camps

Daytime Youth Programs

We have designed summer camp programs with a commitment to safety of campers and families. These week-long, full-day, camps run each week from the beginning of June through early August and provide youth ages 5-17 with a sailing experience that will increase confidence, teamwork, independence and camaraderie. Not to mention they’re also a ton of fun!

Community Partnership Program

Learn More

Our diversity-building Community Partnership Program works with youth-serving organizations to provide an introduction to sailing in a familiar group atmosphere. This program utilizes larger, very stable keelboats, so participants can sail with instructors and volunteers to optimize the group’s experience. The goal of this program is to introduce groups of new sailors to the sport who might then be interested in joining summer camp through our scholarship program.
