Full-day sessions for one week M-F that concentrate on sailing, boating safety and teamwork. Because students need time to master sailing, we highly recommend two or more sessions for a rewarding sailing experience.
Basic Camp is an introductory course that builds familiarity with boat handling and the principles or sailing.
Intermediate Camp further develops sailing skills, while providing longer and more challenging sails to with trained counselors coaching from safety boats. Camp staff will form the two groups based on sailing history and demonstrated skills at the start of the session.

"We enrolled our 8 year old daughter and her 2 friends of similar ages and they LOVED it. All 3 are asking if they can do it again next year. It was fantastic and gave the kids so much confidence. "
"It seems a perfect combination of fun and learning. My son gained self confidence and pride in learning a new skill"
"The counselors were great!"
"The extras were perfect for my child ... skills building, a trip to the beach, the big boat sail, and he made new friends.""My daughter will always remember and be proud of her accomplishments in Sail Camp."
