About This Activity
BEGINNER-INTERMEDIATE: This course is for students, ages 9-16, with little or no sailing experience. While it is like the Beginner class offered to the younger students, the students will be taught more skills that they will master by the end of the course. This course is taught in Optimist sailing dinghies, Laser 4.7 sailboats and two-person Club 420 sailing dinghies. Focus is on introduction to sailing and safety in and around sailboats. Students will learn to rig, sail, and steer a boat. Depending on weather and the group’s sailing skill level, an “Ice Cream Sail” across the Peace River to Fisherman’s Village or Laishley Marina will happen on Wednesday or Thursday (Campers will need $5.00 for ice cream). A fun, “Mini Regatta” will be sailed on the last day. Students passing the sailing, knot tying, and right of way rules will receive a "Beginner" or “Intermediate” Certificate of Achievement at the Friday Pizza Party. Early Bird Registration $175 until 8 weeks from Camp Start Date. Registration Increase One $200 until 4 weeks from Camp Start. Registration Increase Two $225 until 1 week from Camp Start. Late Registration $250 within one week of Camp Start.
