BEGINNERS SAILING CAMP 8 - Our week-long sailing camp teaches you the fundamentals of sailing, with a focus on safety and fun. Our goals are to have you learn and understand how to rig the sailboat, launching and landing the boat, tacking and jibing, and also capsizing and safely recovering your boat. As you progress to a more challenging level, we will review the skills you learned, while also focusing on the enjoyment of sailing. You will learn how to properly ease and trim the sails, based on the various points of sail. You will also have the opportunity to sail in stronger winds. Additional topics that are covered include tying knots and learning about the various STEM concepts and how they relate to sailing. Some of the personal qualities that we emphasize include developing a sense of responsibility, teamwork and respect for each other.
