Kids Set Sail
Kids Set Sail is a Summer day camp that takes place during the months of June through August. It is also expanding into the Spring and Fall seasons as an after school time program. Our goal is to teach young people the skills they will need to be successful sailors, the educational components behind the how the boat functions and lifetime skills such as teamwork, decision-making and respect for our environment. Sailing involves learning skills that are used on and off the water and Kids Set Sail instills these lessons that last a lifetime.
Details: KSS offers beginner and intermediate courses for 7-14 year olds over the course of the one-week to two-week long sessions in the summertime. Each beginner student will learn basic small boat sailing and have the opportunity to become US Sailing Small Boat Level One certified. In the intermediate sessions, students will learn race techniques and build up their navigational skills, with the opportunity to become US Sailing Small Boat Level Two Certified. US Sailing certified instructors are always on board, but youth work together to run and boat. Students with some prior sailing experience will really benefit from our two week sessions; although we accommodate all sailing levels.
The after school time programs in the Spring and Fall will be based upon teaching the information in these certifications; however, we will also move beyond this and focus on intermediate skills that incorporate racing tactics.
Both on-land and on the water, our energetic instructors use a fun combination of games and drill to teach sailing concepts. At Kids Set Sail, fun is an integral part of our program. By the end of the week, your child will be a whiz at sailboat Frisbee as well as maneuvering a small boat.
