Our Summer Sailing Program is aimed to accommodate all interests and skill levels. The program is based on the US SAILING curriculum and designed with an emphasis on learning new skills, while having fun and being safe! All instructors are very professional, US SALING Certified, and have current CPR & First Aid Certificates.

We offer a variety of classes based upon skill level, age, and interest:

* If you are new to sailing, or would like to improve your basic sailing skills, look into our "Learn-to-Sail" classes.

* If you reached your level 2, you are welcome to join one of our adventure sailing classes, to enjoy a variety of different boats and have fun!

* Those interested in learning more advanced skills should look into our advanced program geared towards those interested in racing and improving their sailing skills.

Everyone is required to pass the swim check held on the first day of class. Our sailing program is open to the public, membership is not required, and discounts are available. On the next few pages you will find more info about each sailing session offered. Please keep in mind that learn-to-sail classes are offered in the beginning of the summer only. Our sailing program has been redesigned, so please take the time to look into all we have to offer...

We look forward to teaching your child how to sail and/or coaching them through a higher skill level this summer!

As sailors we are close to the environment, and we respect Mother Nature. Your child will learn about the environment and we will make an effort to be more sustainable by recycling, and by using less pre-packaged snacks in our program. Therefore please bring your own reusable water bottle with you, and we can refill your drink. As an effort to use less paper, our registration will mainly be done online. We have a user friendly registration system set up through our website. Hopefully we can convince everyone to register online! Our goal is to make our sailors aware of their waste management and to guide them to make greener choices. You are already on the right path taking a sail boat out over a power boat! GO YOU! GO GREEN!
