2024 SAIL CAMP REGISTRATION INFORMATION

Registration for the general public opens on Monday, March 18th. 


It is difficult to name another sporting discipline that teaches the amount of skills learned through time on the water. Sailing is a unique sport that requires just as much mentally as it does physically. Self-confidence is bred by the moment to moment decision making, problem solving, and teamwork required, with wind and weather awareness and knowledge, environmental stewardship, history, and ecology education as an added bonus. These are just a few of the many benefits sailing brings, combined with creating lifelong friendships and opening young lives up to a world and thriving industry - this program cannot be beat! Unplugging and adventuring is a must for all - give your child a lifelong skill set and be amazed at how they grow - send them to SAYC Sailing Center! 

We have an established Summer Sail Camp program that is open to all children aged 6 – 17, operating annually from June through August with a weekly Monday through Friday schedule from 9:00am – 3:00pm. It is designed to both introduce the basics of sailing and seamanship and build on existing sailing skills. Children learn to sail on Optimist sailboats, 420 sailboats, and Laser sailboats, as well experience sailing on a multi-hull Hobie Cats and a Flying Scot. In addition to Sail Camp, we offer an Adventure Camp for kids aged 8 – 17, and a half-day Little Skippers Camp for children aged 6 – 7 (9:30am- 1:00pm), with additional full day care available. 

​Led by US Sailing Certified Sailing Instructors, our Summer Camp is not only affordable, but is the most fun and educational experience for youth in our community.

​Classes are divided by age and skill ability with multi-week discounts and scholarships available. Sail Camp Handbook emailed upon completed registration(s). For more information contact SAYCSC Sail Director, Marissa Burrier, or call SAYCSC at 904-643-2243.
