Advanced Level
Description
Sailors at this level are ready to take on the challenge needed for more advanced double-handed sailing in all types of wind. Campers will sail with a partner in an RS Feva while strengthening the skills needed for efficient teamwork on a 2-person sailboat. While sailing with a partner, campers will focus on boat handling, right of way, and sailing in all conditions under control. Sailors will even begin to learn the fundamentals of flying a 3rd sail (spinnaker) to optimize speed, practice advanced boat handling, and prepare for Expert level classes.
Pre-Requisite: Intermediate sailing experience and an instructor recommendation.
Moving Up: Campers must be at least 12 years old to take Advanced 420.
Location: Boulder Reservoir
Camp Hours: Typically Monday through Friday, 9:00AM – 3:30PM daily
Ages: 10 – 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.
