About our Youth Learn to Sail Program
We teach 10-17 year olds to sail. Both Sessions are designed for Beginners and Intermediate skill levels. By the end of a 2 week session, participants will be able to sail safely without the assistance of the instructors. The Basics Beginning Sailing - is a 2 week course for preteens and teens taught by experienced US Sailing certified instructors and volunteers with years of sailing experience. We use US Sailing’s standard curriculum and teach every participant to sail. Participants also learn the value of our rich local marine environment. Intermediate Sailing - runs concurrently with the Beginning program to advance the skills of experienced or returning participants. Intermediates can complete their “Skipper” qualification or equivalent US Sailing Small Boat Certification. Included:
Knowing how to swim is preferred but not mandatory. |
