Adventure Sailing!
The final two weeks of our Summer Camp were very inspiring for the coaching staff as well as camp counselors. All the kids seemed to really enjoy the sailing and more so than ever before. It’s nice to hear comments such as: “I want to sail;” or “I want to trapeze;” or “Let’s fly the kite;” or “It’s so quiet out here;” and my favorite….“I love sailing!”
Our sailing camp is all about having fun while learning how to sail. It begins with water safety and comfort, then moves on towards sailing more every day. The campers spend less time in the classroom and as much time on/in the water as possible. We follow US Sailing’s Small Boat Beginner Student-Level Skill Evaluation and use the Scope and Sequence portions to build our curriculum. It works really well!
The weather continued to cooperate, and we were able to sail every day. For the most part, we stayed on the nearshore between Paradise Island305 and the Sister Banks. We sailed to the West Point of Key Biscayne a couple of times, and we rediscovered Hobie Beach on Virginia Key.
Let’s keep sailing!
Volunteers
Our sailing camp would not happen without our much-appreciated volunteers! We are blessed with super talented youth sailors who set great examples and teach campers how to sail in a fun and interactive way.
Thank you all for your time and effort! You make a big difference and help to make our camp a big success!
