What are sailing camps like?

Campers sail every day, weather permitting. There will be in-class time to learn sailing theory and work on knots. Campers will also take part in daily sailing activities and skill development, morning Flag Circle, a sailing field trip, and the much-beloved tradition of Pirates Day.

Focus on inclusive environment

For your child to have their best day camp experience, please tell us of any needs that could impact their participation when you register. If your child requires more support than we can provide a day camp supervisor will request you, the parent/guardian, to provide a support worker/aide to attend camp with your child.

If your child has severe physical mobility issues, we share space with the Disabled Sailing Association (DSA). Contact them directly for more information about their programs.
