Intermediate Level
Description
This camp is perfect for anyone who has already mastered the basic skills from Learn to Sail and is ready for a more challenging boat with a second sail. Campers will sail with a partner in an RS Feva while strengthening the skills needed for efficient teamwork on a 2-person sailboat. The goals of the camp include tacking, jibing, sail trim, all points of sail, boat handling, knot tying, and efficient capsize recovery with a partner.
Pre-Requisite: At least 2 weeks of any Learn to Sail Camp and an instructor recommendation, OR has previous related experience sailing solo at another sailing school.
Moving Up: Taking at least 2 weeks of an Intermediate level camp and an instructor recommendation is required before moving on to any Advanced level. This camp can be taken as many times as needed before getting an instructor recommendation to move on to Advanced.
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.
