MUCH MORE THAN JUST SAILING
At Summer Sailing Camp, sailing is just the starting point for something much bigger.
Our goal is not to train sailors in just a few days, but rather to provide experiences that help children develop skills they will carry with them long after summer vacation is over.
As they learn to observe the wind direction, adjust the sails, or coordinate a tack, these young people are doing much more than just practicing a sport. They are gaining confidence in their own decision-making abilities and learning to communicate clearly and cope with frustration when the wind isn’t blowing in their favor.
Almost without realizing it, they return home more independent, more confident, and with friendships that often last well beyond the summer camp.

HOW DOES IT WORK?
Each week is carefully planned to balance learning and fun, combining time in the water with activities on land and social time.
From Monday through Friday, each week welcomes a new group of children and teens. Since each week is independent of the others, your child can participate in just one week or repeat the experience throughout the summer, choosing the dates that best fit your family’s vacation schedule.
Throughout the week, participants are supervised by a team of experienced instructors. The small boats used are especially well-suited for beginners. Life jackets are required during all water-based activities, and each outing is preceded by a thorough assessment of weather conditions. This ensures that children, teens, and parents can enjoy this experience with complete confidence and peace of mind.
