Bay Play Summer Camp
Team Paradise’s Summer Sailing Camp Session 1 was a unique and unforgettable experience. 12 eager young participants spent 10 days at the US Sailing Center to discover what we hope will become a lifetime hobby.
Special thanks go out to our instructional team:
Natalia Acebo -- Land-Based STEM Educator and Water Safety Instructor
Moises Alfonso – Safety Boat Operator and Social Media Specialist
Marite’ Felix – Sailing Instructor
Cory Regan – Sailing Instructor
Together our campers learned:
Teamwork
Points of sail
Parts of the boat
Rigging and de-rigging boats
Capsizing and recovery
Reading the wind and the tide
Unique features of Biscayne Bay
Issues that arise from plastic pollution
By the end of their time at Team Paradise, friendships were formed and lessons were learned about the sport of sailing, about the surrounding environment, and ultimately they learned a bit more about themselves. They left camp graduation with a well-deserved sense of accomplishment and can now call themselves “Sailors”.
Congratulations Team! We are so proud of you!
Take a look at how much fun we had…..
