Advanced Level
Description
This camp is perfect for anyone who has had at least 2 weeks of Intermediate Camp, or 1 week of Advanced Feva Camp, or has previous experience sailing a c420 sailboat. Campers at this level are ready to take on the challenges of a larger “double-handed” (2-person) c420 sailboat. While sailing with a partner, campers will focus on boat handling, right of way, and sailing in all conditions under control. Campers are able to hone skills needed in a more challenging boat while increasing efficiency in all aspects of sailing to prepare for Expert level classes.
Pre-Requisite: Intermediate sailing experience and an instructor recommendation.
Moving Up: Campers need at least 1 week of Advanced 420 Camp and an instructor recommendation to move up to the expert level or to become a Junior Sailing Instructor in Training (JSIT).
Location: Boulder Reservoir
Camp Hours: Typically Monday through Friday, 9:00AM – 3:30PM daily
Ages: 12 – 17
What do we need to bring?
- Water
- Lunch
- Sunscreen labeled with your child’s first and last name
- Towel and change of clothes (weather changes rapidly in Colorado. Having a change of clothes and a towel works wonders when a thunderstorm rolls in and the temperature drops.)
- Close-toed shoes (old sneakers work great). For safety reasons, flip-flops are not allowed.
What if there is Inclement Weather?
We plan to sail each day of camp, weather permitting. The safety of our campers and staff is our top priority. If severe weather prevents on-water activities, we transition to sheltered STEM lessons and engaging camp games until it is safe to return to the water.
