Sail Camp 2008

Read more...Sail Camp is Sailing Education Adventure's primary program for teaching youth sailing. The program is based on the calm and protected harbor of the Marin Yacht club.

2008 will mark the 24th year of Sail Camp. Many volunteers work hard to improve the camp curriculum, equipment and facilities on a continuous basis. Recently, Sailing Education Adventures was nominated for Achievement in Nonprofit Excellence by the Center for Volunteer and Nonprofit Leadership of Marin. 

 

2008 will have three different camps: 

Mini Sail Camp - for students ages 8 through 10

Basic and Intermediate Sail Camp - for students ages 11 through 16

Advanced Sail Camp - for experienced students, ages 11 through 16

 

 Reserve your spot on-line today!

 

Basic / Intermediate

One-week full-day sessions (two or more highly recommended for adequate sailing instruction) that concentrate on sailing, boating safety and teamwork. Basic Camp is an introductory course that builds familiarity with boat handling and the principles or sailing. Intermediate Camp further develops sailing skills, while providing more challenges and adventures. Camp staff will form the two groups based on demonstrated skills at the start of the session. Both camps include a Saturday Keelboat Sail and BBQ for campers and families

Session Cost: $310
