If your sailor has a sibling, family member, or friend who they could sail in a boat WITH and with whom social distancing measures will not need to be enforced, this camp is the perfect fit. With 2-3 self-designated children per boat, we would be able to safely teach new sailors the fundamentals together without compromising water safety. With a total group capacity of 8 participants, as an example, this class would be comprised potentially of up to 4 pairs of students. Each pair will continue to practice social distancing from each other pair, but not be forced to socially distance themselves from their own chosen partner. This camp will focus on teaching to the level of your sailors as best as possible so it is great for first-time sailors and returning sailors alike!

IMPORTANT: All participants need to bring a lunch, enough water to last the entire day, bathing suit, towel, change of clothes, hat, sunscreen, sunglasses, and water shoes. We encourage the use of personal life jackets (PFDs) and helmets. If this is not an option for you we will be providing this equipment for your sailor. Helmets and PFD’s will be assigned to one individual for the duration of camp and sanitized daily.

This “self-contained group” camp is specifically designed for a private group of 5-8 participants consisting of family members, with multiple children, friends that can sail together, carpool partners, or neighborhood friends. Assemble your group together and you can all sign up for this camp where you will be assigned a private instructor for the week. Your camp group will not be open to any outside registrants and we will not be enforcing social distancing measures within your own private group. When signing up for this camp you understand that campers will be sailing in a boat together and using the same equipment throughout the entire week. This camp will focus on teaching to the level of your sailors as best as possible so it is great for first-time sailors and returning sailors alike!

The Intermediate Camp is the next step in a sailor’s progression, for those who graduated from our Learn to Sail Camp, Beg-Intermediate Camp, or for juniors that have previous sailing experience elsewhere. Sailors will strengthen basic skills and become proficient while sailing all points of sail. Practicing tacking, jibing, sail trim, boat handling, knot tying, review of weather recognition, and capsize recovery are the goals of this camp. Sailors learn in same-age peer groups to enrich confidence and camaraderie.

NOTE: Each camper will be sailing their own individual boat and using the same equipment during the camp.

This camp is perfect for those who have mastered the basics of sailing. Sailors will strengthen sailing skills and focus on boat handling, right of way, sailing in all conditions under control and skipper responsibilities. Utilizing age-appropriate racing boats, campers are able to hone skills needed in a more challenging and responsive boat while increasing independence in all aspects of sailing. Successfully completing this camp is a prerequisite for joining our Junior Race Team.

NOTE: Each camper will be sailing their own individual boat and using the same equipment during the camp.

If your sailor is at least 8-years-old and does NOT have someone they could sail with but is still interested in participating in a watersports camp that includes Stand Up Paddleboarding + Kayaking, we are offering a camp geared toward solo participants where we can maintain social distancing between each individual participant and still get kids out on the water. Please note, that this camp will not have a sailing component to it as we are unable to teach new sailors the fundamentals and maintain social distancing without compromising general water safety.

Don’t be intimidated, the CSC Racing Program is a great way for any of our Advanced or Intro to Advanced campers to quickly pick up racing basics while learning to sail with peers. Sailors are encouraged but not mandated to participate in competitive regattas (sailing races) both in and out of state. Competitive sailing here in Colorado is a great pathway to lead young athletes toward college sailing and beyond.

Advanced sailors develop the talents to become skilled sailboat racers. Independence and critical thinking are at the heart of the race team. Sailors work together on and off the water to establish a solid foundation of knowledge; including: the racing rules of sailing, advanced rigging and sail tuning, advanced sailing techniques, sportsmanship, and strategy. Racing is fun! Sailors learn to work through challenges and rejoice in the triumphs and travails of competitive sport.
