Start your kids off in a sport that can be enjoyed for a lifetime!  The goal of our Summer Program for Kids is to teach them how to sail at their own pace in a safe environment combining hands-on instruction with fun activities to build confidence, encourage teamwork and develop friendships!  For kids ages 9 to 17. 2008 Sessions Starting June 23rd thru August 15th, Monday thru Friday, our two week sessions are offered as half day programs for your convenience.  The session times are 9am to 12:30pm and 1:30pm to 5pm.  The program fee is $375 per session.  Openings are limited, so contact us as soon as possible for a brochure and registration form. Ask about our discounted rates for all returning students and new students signing up for two or more sessions! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ All Students will review basic water safety, boat anatomy and the language of sailing.  Sessions will include some on-shore instruction but most of the time will be spent out on the sailboats. Beginner Students start out on small boats which are great for learning the basics.  Along with an instructor, they will cover rigging, wind awareness, points of sail, tacking, and jibing, and capsize recovery.  As crew, together they will discover the magic feeling of harnessing the wind to move their boat over the water! Intermediate Students will crew on the same type of high performance boats raced at Yacht Clubs and Colleges.  On these boats they will learn the finer points of sail trim, racing techniques, using a trapeze and sailing with a spinnaker.  They will also have a lot of fun doing some informal racing with each other!
