St. Francis Yacht Club: Summer Junior Sailing

At the St. Francis Yacht Club: Summer Junior Sailing Camp, the magic of maritime adventure and camaraderie awaits your young sailor. From beginners to intermediates, this camp caters to a broad range of skills and ages, welcoming children as young as eight. The camp splits its time between two distinct venues. The Tinsley Island Camp is a sleepaway experience that's akin to a slice of seafaring heaven. Here, sailors get the chance to learn to navigate RS Teras, RS Quests, Lasers, and Windsurfers. But it's not all hard tacks and gybes; there's ample time for other fun activities like kayaking, paddleboarding, land games, and pool time. Girls and boys have separate accommodation, offering a safe, supervised environment. And let's not forget the three gourmet meals prepared daily by the camp chef – a culinary voyage in itself!The second offering, the City Front Camp, focuses on honing sailing skills against the backdrop of the bustling city. This week-long journey is about building confidence and mastering sailing basics like rigging, points of sail, and capsizing. It's an excellent opportunity for beginner sailors to cut their teeth in the windy Cityfront, all while advancing their intermediate skills such as hiking out and close-hauled sailing. The St. Francis Yacht Club: Summer Junior Sailing Camp is an exciting junction of learning, fun, and friendship. And remember, your child doesn't need to be a club member to join this voyage. So, anchors aweigh for a summer of sailing fun!
